"A lower court decision to nullify FDA approval of mifepristone is woefully out of step with public opinion, according to the NPR poll. By a 64%-to-35% margin, respondents in the survey of 1,291 adults said they oppose laws banning access to medication abortion. The poll was conducted from April 17 to 19, before the Supreme Court's decision, and has a +/- 3.4 percentage point margin of error."

The whole situation with federal judges just canceling each other's rulings on would be kind of hilarious if their actions didn't have real-world consequences for my own . The law is arbitrary and is only ever interpreted or applied to serve those in power and it's funny how so many people are realizing that with the contradictory decisions. But in the end, those of us with uteruses who may need abortions are the ones who are stuck fearing for our .

Texas abortion patients were more likely to prefer medication abortion, and obtain (or plan to obtain) it after state legal restrictions were nullified in 2016.

Things to remember despite the Texas ruling:

1. Do not panic!

2. is still legal in the US.

3. If you are seeking abortion care, keep your appointment and work with your provider. You *will* be cared for.

4. Mifepristone is still legal until at least April 14 and probably longer.

5. Even if Mifepristone is ultimately removed from the market, medication abortion will still be legal & available, just administered differently.

This is a stumble, not a fall.
