Statement from President Joe Biden on Decision in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA | The White House
Today a single #federal #district #judge in Texas ruled that a #prescription #medication that has been available for more than 22 years, #approved by the #FDA and used #safely and #effectively by millions of women here and around the world, should #no #longer be #approved in the United States.
The Court in this case has #substituted its #judgment for FDA, the #expert #agency that approves drugs.
** If this ruling were to stand, then there will be virtually no prescription, approved by the FDA, that would be safe from these kinds of political, ideological attacks. **
My Administration will fight this ruling. The Department of Justice has already filed an appeal and will seek an immediate stay of the decision.
👉 But let’s be clear – the only way to stop those who are committed to taking away women’s rights and freedoms in every state is to #elect a #Congress who will pass a #law restoring #Roe versus Wade. 👏
Vice President Harris and I will continue to lead the fight to protect a woman’s right to an abortion, and to make her own decisions about her own health. That is our commitment.
It's funny because the judge was calling out the FDA's admitted failure to follow the safety rules for drug approval.
Biden oversees the FDA now.
So he's trying to point fingers for his own failure. He should have had the FDA fix the regulatory issues instead of complaining on being called out.
