Republican states say the FDA doesn't have the authority to override state abortion pill bans

Summary
Republican attorneys general have argued that FDA approval of the abortion pill does not give manufacturers unconditional right to sell the medication at all times, and that states have the power to regulate abortion. GenBioPro has filed a lawsuit to overturn West Virginia's abortion ban, arguing that it conflicts with how FDA regulates the abortion pill under federal law. The battle over access to the abortion pill has become a central front in the fight over abortion access, with lawsuits and political pressure being applied to both the FDA and companies like Walgreens.
