FDA | The White House</p><p>Today a single <a href="https://c.im/tags/federal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>federal</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/district" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>district</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/judge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>judge</span></a> in Texas ruled that a <a href="https://c.im/tags/prescription" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prescription</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/medication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>medication</span></a> that has been available for more than 22 years, <a href="https://c.im/tags/approved" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>approved</span></a> by the <a href="https://c.im/tags/FDA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FDA</span></a> and used <a href="https://c.im/tags/safely" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>safely</span></a> and <a href="https://c.im/tags/effectively" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>effectively</span></a> by millions of women here and around the world, should <a href="https://c.im/tags/no" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>no</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/longer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>longer</span></a> be <a href="https://c.im/tags/approved" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>approved</span></a> in the United States. </p><p>The Court in this case has <a href="https://c.im/tags/substituted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>substituted</span></a> its <a href="https://c.im/tags/judgment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>judgment</span></a> for FDA, the <a href="https://c.im/tags/expert" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>expert</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/agency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>agency</span></a> that approves drugs. </p><p>** If this ruling were to stand, then there will be virtually no prescription, approved by the FDA, that would be safe from these kinds of political, ideological attacks. **<br> <br>My Administration will fight this ruling. The Department of Justice has already filed an appeal and will seek an immediate stay of the decision. </p><p>👉 But let’s be clear – the only way to stop those who are committed to taking away women’s rights and freedoms in every state is to <a href="https://c.im/tags/elect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>elect</span></a> a <a href="https://c.im/tags/Congress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Congress</span></a> who will pass a <a href="https://c.im/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>law</span></a> restoring <a href="https://c.im/tags/Roe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Roe</span></a> versus Wade. 👏</p><p>Vice President Harris and I will continue to lead the fight to protect a woman’s right to an abortion, and to make her own decisions about her own health. That is our commitment.</p><p><a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/04/07/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-decision-in-alliance-for-hippocratic-medicine-v-fda/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/s</span><span class="invisible">tatements-releases/2023/04/07/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-decision-in-alliance-for-hippocratic-medicine-v-fda/</span></a></p>
