Misoprostol

  • Texas lawmakers approved legislation, House Bill 7, allowing private citizens to sue manufacturers, distributors, and providers of abortion-inducing drugs, including mail-order pills, for at least $100,000 in damages. The bill aims to restrict access to medication abortion by creating a private right of action and has been described as a potential model for other states seeking to curb abortion access.
  • The bill would reclassify mifepristone and misoprostol as Schedule IV substances. Doctors say doing so could cause delays in care during serious medical emergencies.
