Alliance For Hippocratic Medicine Et Al V. U.S. Food And Drug Administration Et Al
This legal case involves several medical organizations and doctors who are suing the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other government officials. The lawsuit is centered around the approval and regulation of chemical abortion drugs, specifically mifepristone. The plaintiffs argue that the FDA has prioritized politics over science and has failed to protect the health and safety of women and girls by approving and deregulating these drugs without proper safety assessments and studies. The lawsuit challenges six FDA actions related to the approval and regulation of these drugs and seeks to have them declared unlawful and vacated. Additionally, the plaintiffs argue that the FDA's actions violate federal laws, including the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) and the Pediatric Research and Equity Act (PREA). The case is filed in the Northern District of Texas and seeks declaratory, injunctive, and other appropriate relief under various federal laws and regulations.
