Quick Glance: Analysis: Texas abortion pill ruling could jeopardise US drug oversight
  • WASHINGTON, April 6 (Reuters) - The U.S. A federal judge in Texas could soon order the FDA to withdraw its approval of the abortion pill mifepristone, a move that, if allowed to stand, could severely undermine the agency, according to health policy and legal experts.

  • Experts say that if the court decides to prohibit the sale of mifepristone because it is unsafe, it will effectively end the FDA's role as the ultimate arbiter of drug safety.

  • The entire drug approval process would be called into question, according to Laurie Sobel, associate director for Women's Health Policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation.
