Opinion | We're who Justice Alito said should make abortion laws. Leave mifepristone alone.

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Those two cases -- Food and Drug Administration v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine and Danco Laboratories v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine -- were brought by anti-abortion extremists last year to challenge the FDA's approval of mifepristone, a drug used to end early-stage pregnancies and manage miscarriages.
48% : In New Mexico, medication abortions accounted for more than 80% of all abortions covered by Medicaid in 2023.
35% : Despite extensive scientific research supporting the use of mifepristone, these extremists argue that it's unsafe, and they're wagering that the conservative court will side with their ideology and ignore the medical and scientific judgment of the FDA.
