U.S. Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03) and 240 Members of Congress—led by Senators Schumer, Murray, Durbin, Sanders, and Blumenthal and Representatives Jeffries, Clark, Pallone, Nadler, Lee, and DeGette—submitted an amicus brief to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in the case of Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA, in support of the Biden administration’s appeal of federal district court judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk’s Friday ruling that suspends the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) more than 20-year-old approval of mifepristone—threatening access to mifepristone for patients nationwide, as well as FDA’s Congressionally-mandated authority and drug approval process.
