For Immediate Release
Office of Public Affairs
The Justice Department today issued the following statement from Attorney General Merrick B. Garland following the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA:
“The Justice Department strongly disagrees with the Fifth Circuit’s decision in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA to deny in part our request for a stay pending appeal. We will be seeking emergency relief from the Supreme Court to defend the FDA’s scientific judgment and protect Americans’ access to safe and effective reproductive care.”
