In the United States, a federal judge suspended, Friday, April 7, the marketing authorization of the main abortion pill. The executive reacted strongly.
The determined look, Matthew Kaczmaryk, a conservative judge from Texas (United States) has just dealt a new blow to the right to abortion in the country. The drug he suspended sale, Mifepristone, is the une of the two pills that allow abortion. More than 500,000 American women have used it every year for the past 20 years. To justify his decision, the judge accuses the authorities who marketed this drug.
A ban that can apply to the whole country
As he is a federal judge, appointed by Donald Trump six years ago, in theory his ban can apply to the whole country. In a few hours, the entire Democratic camp has stepped up to the plate. President Joe Biden has said he wants to fight this decision. Its vice-president, Kamala Harris, made it clear that she would not let it happen. Final judgment would be made by the United States Supreme Court.
