Gov Newsome says state to hoard Abortion Pills
California is stocking up on abortion medication. Governor Gavin Newsom announced Monday that the state has inked a deal to buy two-million Misoprostol [[mye-so PROS tul]] pills. This comes after a Texas court ruling blocked access to another abortion drug Mifepristone [[mif-uh PRIS tone ]]. The judge on Friday ordered the FDA to revoke its approval of the drug by the end of this week after a lawsuit claimed the approval process was rushed. California has also shared the negotiated terms of its Misoprostol purchase to help other states secure the drug at a low cost and protect access to abortion medication. Washington and Massachusetts are also hoarding the pills.
