El DOJ presenta moción para bloquear demanda de Missouri sobre envío de píldora abortiva por correo

El Departamento de Justicia de EE.UU. presentó el viernes una moción para detener o desestimar una demanda interpuesta por Missouri y otros estados liderados por republicanos que cuestionan la política de la FDA que permite el envío de mifepristona por correo. El documento sostiene que continuar con el caso interferiría en una revisión de seguridad en curso de la FDA sobre el fármaco, iniciada por la administración Trump. Defensores pro-vida han criticado la medida, instando a regulaciones más estrictas sobre el aborto con medicamentos.

La demanda, Missouri v. FDA, fue presentada por Missouri, Kansas e Idaho para bloquear una política de la era de la COVID que relajó las regulaciones para la dispensación de mifepristona, permitiendo prescripciones en línea y entrega por correo sin visitas médicas en persona. El Departamento de Justicia sostiene que los estados carecen de legitimación suficiente para demandar, ya que aún pueden hacer cumplir sus leyes pro-vida contra prescriptores de otros estados. En su presentación, el DOJ declaró: «Missouri, Kansas e Idaho no son los únicos demandantes que han cuestionado las condiciones actuales de uso de la mifepristona. Ante este amplio debate sobre la seguridad de la mifepristona, la FDA ha concluido que el mejor camino a seguir es que la agencia realice su revisión con base en todas las pruebas disponibles.»
