Planned Parenthood NH Action Fund Responds to District Court Decision in Texas Mifepristone Case

For Immediate Release: April 8, 2023


CONCORD, NH - Today, a federal judge in Texas declared in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine et al v. U.S. Food and Drug Administration et al the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of mifepristone unlawful, threatening the 22-year approval of one of two medications used in the most common medication abortion protocol in our country. The judge stayed the decision to give the federal government seven days to appeal, which means that for now, approval of mifepristone remains protected.

Statement from Kayla Montgomery, Vice President for Public Affairs at Planned Parenthood New Hampshire Action Fund:

“Medication abortion is safe and legal, but this politically motivated ruling could cause real harm and should make clear to everyone that people opposed to abortion will not stop until abortion is banned everywhere, including here in New Hampshire. 

Granite Staters agree - private medical decisions should be made by patients and their providers, not politicians and judges. 

Planned Parenthood of Northern New England will continue to offer medication abortion as the appeal process moves forward."
