Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said that"everything is on the table" in the wake of a decision by a federal judge to order the Food and Drug Administration to suspend its approval of the abortion pill mifepristone.
When asked specifically if the FDA would follow the ruling by the judge, Becerra pushed for continued access to the drug.Becerra also said it is pivotal for the FDA to prevail in the case because it undermines the FDA's authority to approve drugs for use. He added, “If a judge decides to substitute his preference, his personal opinion for that of scientists and medical professionals, what drug isn’t subject to some kind of legal challenge? So we have to go to court. And, for America’s sake and for women’s sake, we have to prevail in this."
Becerra also asserted that the Texas judge's ruling was"not America," saying the country does what is fair, transparent, and backed by the evidence.
