## Resource

A Virginia federal judge has ordered the FDA to redo its controversial 2023 restrictions on a key abortion medication, calling the agency’s justification “insufficient” and sending the case back for review. The ruling, joined by a similar decision in Hawaii, challenges the FDA’s requirement for special pharmacy certifications, clinician approvals, and mandatory risk acknowledgment forms — all of which abortion providers say add unnecessary bureaucracy and harm patient care. With anti-abortion groups pushing for even stricter controls in states where abortion remains legal, this legal tug-of-war could reshape access to reproductive healthcare across the country.
