On Monday, Washington-Die Trump administration asked a judge to throw a lawsuit of three states conducted by GOP who wanted to cut access to telegesism to abortion medication Mifiston.

The lawyers of the Ministry of Justice remained the legal course course defined by Biden Administration, even though it was not directly stressed by the underlying question of access to the medication, which is part of the most common interpretation method in the country.

Rather, the government argued that the states did not dispose of the legal law or standing.

“The states are free to raise their claims in a district in which the event location is appropriate, but the claims of the states to this court must be dismissed or transferred in accordance with the mandatory command of the event law,” wrote the lawyers of the Federal Government.

Idaho, Kansas and Missouri's lawsuit argues that the Food and Drug Administration should have access to Mifepriston. You submitted your complaint after the Supreme Court received access to Mifepristone last year. You want the FDA to prohibit telemedicine recipes for Mifepristone, require three in-offices visits and restrict the point during pregnancy if it can be used.

The case is made by the US district judge Matthew Kacsmaryk in Texas, a Trump candidate who once decided to hire the approval for drugs.

Kacsmaryk's original judgment came in a lawsuit submitted by anti-abortive groups. It was limited by an appellate court before it was ejected by the Supreme Court, according to which the plaintiffs lacked the legal right to complain.

The three states later changed to revive the case and argued that they had legal reputation because access to the drug undermined their abortion laws.

The lawyers of the Ministry of Justice said, however, that the states could not only add to the earlier lawsuit in order to keep the case in Texas.

Nothing prevents the states from submitting the lawsuit in another place, lawyer Daniel Schwwei wrote, but the venue must have a connection to the claims that are collected.

In addition, Schweib wrote, the states have challenging measures that the FDA took in 2016 when it for the first time loosened restrictions on MifePrestone. That is far beyond the six -year period for Sue, he said.

The abortion is prohibited in all stages of pregnancy in Idaho. Missouri had a strict ban, but the clinics recently offered abortions after the voters had approved a new constitutional change for reproductive rights. The abortion is generally legally up to 22 weeks in Kansas, when voters have rejected a ballot paper against abortions in 2022, although the state has age restrictions.

Trump said Time Magazine in December that he would not restrict access to abortion medication. On the election campaign street, abortion was an issue for the states and emphasized that he had appointed judges as the Supreme Court who were in the majority than he reflected the national right to abortion in 2022.

Health Minister Robert F. Kennedy Jr. seems to have temporarily shifted and to draw criticism from the lawyers for abortion rights and anti-abbreviations. During his first hearing in January, he repeated: “I always believed that abortion was a tragedy” when he was pressed through his views.

Mifepristone is usually used in combination with a second medication against medication abortization, which has held more than three fifths of all abortions in the USA since the judgment of the Supreme Court Roe v. Wade overturned.
