***MEDIA ADVISORY FOR MONDAY APRIL 10 AT 2:30 PM ET***
Devastating Ruling Threatens Essential Reproductive Care and Entire U.S. Drug Approval Process
Washington, DC — On Monday, April 10, 2023 at 2:30 PM ET, Williams Schultz, former deputy FDA commissioner and HHS General Counsel, Lynn Goldman, Dean of the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University, and experienced Supreme Court and appellate lawyer Andy Pincus will join Protect Our Care to discuss the disastrous implications of Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s ruling to invalidate the FDA’s approval of mifepristone. Judge Kacysmaryk’s ruling puts at risk not only the use of mifepristone for safe and legal abortions for millions of American women, but it opens the door for the politically-motivated removal of other safe and effective drugs from the market — throwing the entire U.S. drug approval process into chaos.
During the call, speakers will discuss how the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. U.S. Food and Drug Administration lawsuit has wider implications for the health care system and sets a precedent for any judge to be able to overrule the evidence-based and scientific FDA medication approval process.
