He US Department of Justice has presented this Friday to the Supreme Court an emergency appeal to suspend the recent opinion of a Texas court on the restrictions on the use of the abortion pill in what is the first case of this magnitude that ends up falling before the highest judicial instance in the country since its magistrates eliminated in June last year the constitutional right to abortion.

The American Pharmacist Danco Laboratories He had already asked the highest court in the country to annul, for assuming “irremediable damage” to his business, the decision made by Texas District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, one that prohibits the pill mail order and its main component, mifepristone. Neither can the medicine be provided in generic form and it cannot be prescribed after the seventh week of pregnancy.

The Department of Justice argues that the decision of the Judge Kacsmaryk annuls “a scientific doctrine the Federal Drug Administration has maintained in force” for 20 years, as well as “a drug that millions of Americans have used safely for more than two decades,” according to the document collected by the ‘ New York Times’. Likewise, the US Government believes that the Texas court’s ruling reliance on a health care system that depends on the availability of mifepristone as an alternative to surgical abortion for women who choose legally interrupt their early pregnancies.

Precisely, the Danco laboratories are in charge of producing the generic of the drug, Mifeprex, and therefore its petition before the Supreme reflects that his business would be “irremediably damaged” since “it would be unable to carry out its operations at the national level” and, therefore, “could not comply with its legal obligations.” Given the financial emergency that this decision represents, Danco asks the Supreme Court to issue a provisional total suspension until he fully deliberates on the case, as reported by the NBC chain and collected by the EFE Agency.
