Broken Law

Episode 99: Mifepristone and Judicial Whiplash


Listen Later

In the past couple of weeks, there has been a flurry of judicial activity over Mifepristone, one of the two drugs most often used in medication abortion and that was approved by the FDA over 20 years ago. On this episode, Jenny Ma returns to Broken Law to speak with Lindsay Langholz about the absurdity of the argument being made against Mifepristone, how it has played out in the courts thus far, and what may happen next.
