FDA appeals US federal judge's block on abortion pill

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) filed an appeal on Friday against a ruling by a federal judge that overturned the approval of a safe and effective abortion, the latest volley in a conservative battle against reproductive rights in the United States. If it stands, the ruling by an appointee of former US president Donald Trump would



reverse permission granted by the FDA for mifepristone, a drug widely used for over two decades to terminate unwanted pregnancies.
