The suit was filed in Texas, of course. From Courthouse News Service:
(CN) — A coalition of three red states sued the Food and Drug Administration and Department of Health and Senior Services on Monday for approving the abortion pill mifepristone and allowing its sale and shipment to patients nationwide, including to states that have banned abortion.
In their complaint, Republican attorneys general representing Missouri, Kansas and Idaho rely on what they call precedent in the Texas-based case Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA, where this past April a Donald Trump-appointed federal judge granted a preliminary injunction in favor of the plaintiffs, suggesting the FDA’s initial approval of the drug more than two decades ago was based on political pressure.
