Bill Summary

A resolution to condemn the April 7, 2023, order in the case Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA and to denounce any and all efforts to limit access to abortion in Michigan and throughout the country.

AI Summary

This Resolution condemns a recent court order that would halt the approval of mifepristone, a medication used for abortions and miscarriage care, and denounces all attempts to restrict abortion access in Michigan and across the nation. The resolution highlights that mifepristone, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2000, has been safely used by millions and offers a private alternative to procedural abortions with a very low complication rate, even safer than common medications like acetaminophen. It criticizes the April 7, 2023, order by a Texas federal court in the case *Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA* as politically motivated and an overreach of judicial power, noting that the Department of Justice intends to appeal to protect access to reproductive care and that such challenges could jeopardize other FDA-approved medications. Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes that this court order undermines Michigan's constitutional right to reproductive freedom, disproportionately affecting marginalized communities by limiting access to a widely used abortion option.
