Murrill critical of DOJ push to pause abortion pill case

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill is fighting a move by the U.S. Department of Justice to pause a lawsuit regarding mail-order abortion medication.

On Jan. 27, the DOJ filed a motion asking a federal court to pause Louisiana’s lawsuit that challenges the deregulation of abortion pills. The DOJ says the U.S. Food and Drug Administration already is conducting a review of the matter.

Murrill took to social media to blast the DOJ.

“That is an affront to our sovereignty and the dignity of women and the unborn,” Murrill posted Jan. 28 on X. “US FDA admits that the REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy) is flawed but claims that Louisiana can’t sue to stop the 1,000 dangerous abortions a month in Louisiana that the REMS allows. … FDA should stand with us for life, not with” California Gov. Gavin Newsom and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul.
