A U.S. federal judge has ruled that certain North Carolina laws imposing restrictions on the abortion pill mifepristone are preempted by federal law and therefore unlawful. These laws exceeded FDA limitations by restricting who can prescribe the drug and how it is administered, including requirements for in-person prescribing and follow-up appointments. The ruling, described as a 'huge pills win in NC', marks a significant decision in the ongoing legal battles over access to mifepristone, a widely used abortion-inducing drug that is FDA-approved.

Mifepristone is a safe, FDA-approved medication. I'm relieved to see the court has struck down some of the mifepristone requirements in NC that make it harder for women to access this necessary medication. Women should not be subject to these restrictions on our health care. https://t.co/p1DA4YJchY
