WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) released the statement below following the Supreme Court’s unanimous decision in the FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine case to uphold full access to the abortion pill Mifepristone. In this decision, the Court ruled that the doctors and groups that had challenged access to the drug did not have standing to sue.

“The Supreme Court made the right call. This case was an extreme overreach as a result of the Court’s earlier decision to throw out Roe v. Wade. The reality is that the women of America continue to grapple with a chaotic patchwork of laws governing what healthcare they can access. This cannot stand. We must protect reproductive freedom at the federal level and we can do that by codifying Roe v. Wade.”
