ATTORNEY GENERAL TISH JAMES SPEAKS OUT ON JUSTICE ALITO’S STAY ON ABORTION DRUG BAN
NATIONWIDE — Following U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s stay on lower courts’ rulings over a medication abortion drug on Friday, April 12, NY State Attorney Letitia James stated, “The rulings regarding abortion medication access from various courts over the past two weeks have caused confusion and anxiety for millions of Americans. The decision by the Supreme Court to temporarily maintain the status quo will provide at least a temporary respite as the appeals process moves forward.”
Earlier on Friday, Attorney General James had led a multi-state coalition of 24 of her counterparts from other states in an amicus brief requesting that a ban on the drug be paused pending an appeal.
