Attorney General Lynn Fitch issued the following statement.
Attorney General Lynn Fitch released the following statement as the Supreme Court granted a stay, permitting a federal regulation that removed the longstanding in-person dispensing requirement for the chemical abortion drug mifepristone, without any safeguards to protect the health and life of the woman, to continue.
“The FDA's rule effectively achieves a national abortion-on-demand regime that could never be passed through Congress. Our victory in the Mississippi Dobbs case reaffirmed the right of states to pass laws that protect unborn life, women's health, and the integrity of the medical profession. The current FDA protocol works against all those legitimate state interests," said Attorney General Lynn Fitch.
Last week, Attorney General Fitch joined a coalition of 23 attorneys general in asking the Supreme Court to leave in place the Fifth Circuit stay of the 2023 rule by the Biden-era FDA, which has the practical effect of allowing non-Mississippi doctors to prescribe mifepristone to patients and ship that drug across state lines to women in Mississippi, in direct contravention of Mississippi law.
The AGs' brief was filed in support of Louisiana, which is suing the federal Food and Drug Administration, arguing that the rule removing the in-person dispensing requirement was not based on sound science and thus procedurally flawed. The FDA has admitted the 2023 rule was procedurally flawed and is currently conducting a review. You can read the brief HERE.
In 2024, Attorney General Fitch led an amicus brief supporting pro-life physicians in a challenge to this same rule. As she and 21 other Attorneys General said then, “This case challenges the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s actions adopting an elective abortion policy that Congress could never pass, that States have rejected, and in which the American people had no say.”

"and in which the American people had no say."
Yet 60% of Americans think abortion should be legal. So spare me this BS about honoring the will of the people.
Liberals love abortion. It’s their version of birth control. They love to have your tax dollars pay for it too.
You want an abortion? Go ahead.
Just don’t call it “healthcare”.
It’s pathetic.
"60% of Americans think abortion should be legal" cite your source
@9:02 - I know several Republicans who have had abortions. They call it "abortion" just like "Democrats" do.
Lynn, 80% of the women who have died in childbirth died needlessly thanks to your deliberate ignorance about your own body! Nor apparently, do other women confide in you or you'd know that many women in MS change their mind when their life is on the line or when they thought they were in menopause after 40 and instead were pregnant !
Link? Proof?
Mississippi is an abortion.
@7:52 they never back up their claims.
Link? Proof? Planned Parenthood doesn't count as they are leftie liars.
Pew Research Center pegs it at about 60% in favor of abortion rights. Look it up yourself. Duh.
@8:11 @7:52 - if you know you to Google, it looks like he’s using the very first search result for “American abortion poll” from pew research. Let me know if you need me to hold your hand while you try to figure it out.
@6:21 - it’s different because it affects them not you.
If Lynn Fitch thinks it’s wrong, it must be good. I think we just solved the abortion question using the reverse Lynn index. It’s never failed before.
The Pew Research Center smells.
12:28/7:52/8:11: I guess you assume your position is the majority position. If so, you are wrong:
"Most U.S. adults continue to express support for legal abortion. Currently, 60% say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, while 38% say it should be illegal in all or most cases."

That's the same as it was in 1995.

@9:26 when does life start?
Heaven forbid! The Supreme Court dared to rule against my wishes! How dare they!
6:21 - No you don’t. Stop making things up.
Do conservatives get abortions? Sure. But they don’t ask the government to fund them, or do they use them like birth control.
2:08, Since the mid-1800s, courts and legislatures around the county said life begins at quickening, which is when the fetus begins moving in the womb, generally around the end of the second trimester.
Of course, preachers, philosophers, and politicians have since reached a different conclusion.
