Huge Appeals Court Ruling Could Stop Mailing Aboriton Drugs to Pro-Life States

In what pro-life advocates are touting as a major victory, a federal appeals court is allowing the Mountain State to ban the abortion drug mifepristone. In a ruling Tuesday, Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit upheld as constitutional a West Virginia law outlawing mifepristone. Nevada-based mifepristone manufacturer GenBioPro had challenged West Virginia’s law, arguing that the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of the abortion drug should supersede the state’s law.
