What do the recent rulings on medication abortion mean for access in Minnesota?

Minnesota's abortion providers have been bracing for weeks for a ruling expected to complicate the future of one of the drugs used in medication abortions.

That ruling landed late Friday, when U.S. District Court Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk in Texas ordered a hold on federal approval of mifepristone, a decision that overruled more than two decades of authorization of the drug.

While abortion is still legal in Minnesota, abortion rights advocates say the ruling has the potential to be even more consequential in the state than the overturning of Roe v. Wade last summer. More than half of abortions in the state are done through the use of a medication regimen that includes mifepristone.
