A three-judge panel on the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals suspended former President Joe Biden administration’s 2023 Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) for mifepristone nationwide, Attorney General Liz Murrill announced.

Based on this ruling, prescribers cannot lawfully mail abortion drugs into the state of Louisiana. Now, the in-person dispensing of mifepristone, a prescription used to medically terminate a pregnancy, is again required while litigation continues.

“The Biden abortion cartel facilitated the deaths of thousands of Louisiana babies (and millions in other states) through illegal mail-order abortion pills,” Murrill said.

“Today, that nightmare is over, thanks to the hard work of my office and our friends at Alliance Defending Freedom. I look forward to continuing to defend women and babies as this case continues.”
