The Justice Department today issued the following statement from Attorney General Merrick B. Garland following the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA:
“The Justice Department strongly disagrees with the Fifth Circuit’s decision in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA to deny in part our request for a stay pending appeal. We will be seeking emergency relief from the Supreme Court to defend the FDA’s scientific judgment and protect Americans’ access to safe and effective reproductive care."
