Orange 編譯) 在最高法院暫緩德州聯邦法院法官阻止聯邦藥品管理局
(FDA)批准墮胎藥Mifepristone的決定後，麻州州長奚莉
(Maura Healey) 發出聲明，強調Mifepristone仍然安全，合法，而且可以取得。
上週，奚莉州長宣佈麻州囤積了數以千計的Mifepristone藥劑，還簽署了行政命令，確認在現行州法下保護墮胎藥。
奚莉州長說，”Mifepristone仍然安全，合法，而且可以在美國取得。最高法院今天的命令是全美病人及供應商的勝利，一場科學，醫藥及法律的勝利。不過，我們絕不應該忘記，到現在，人們已安全並有效的使用Mifepristone幾十年了，這在用藥墮胎中已成為金標準。聯邦藥品管理局對這藥的批准，從來就不應該被川普指派的德州法官，一個極端分子所質疑”。
奚莉州長說，”今天的裁決，確保了Mifepristone在全美仍然合法，可取得。我們知道下一次對生育自由的攻擊，就在不遠處。病患及醫療服務供應者要知道，在麻州，我們支持他們，我們會繼續和民權，自由站在一起，而且我們會永遠保護獲得生育醫護管道，包括藥物流產”。
Governor Healey Responds to Supreme Court Order: Mifepristone Remains Safe, Legal and Available
BOSTON – Following a Supreme Court order staying a Texas
federal court judge’s decision that had blocked FDA approval of
the medication abortion drug mifepristone, Governor Healey issued a statement
emphasizing that mifepristone remains safe, legal and available. Last week,
Governor Healey announced that Massachusetts had stockpiled thousands of doses of
mifepristone and signed an Executive Order confirming protections for
medication abortion under existing state law.
"Mifepristone remains safe, legal and available in the United States. Today’s Supreme Court order is a victory for patients and providers across the country – a victory for science, medicine and the law. However, we never should have gotten to this point. Mifepristone has been used safely and effectively for decades and it is the gold standard in medication abortion. Its approval from the FDA never should have been called into question by one extreme, Trump-appointed judge in Texas,” said Governor Maura Healey. “
While
today’s ruling ensures that mifepristone continues to
remain legal and accessible across the country, we know that the next
attack on reproductive freedom is just around the corner. Patients and
providers should know that, in Massachusetts, we have their backs. We’ll
continue to stand for civil rights and freedom, and we will always protect
access to reproductive health care, including medication abortion.”
