Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina said on “CNN This Morning” that the Texas judge who halted the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of the chemical abortion drugs mifepristone and misoprostol had made a mistake.
U.S. District Court Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk of Texas issued the opinion Friday and granted a preliminary injunction on the use of the drug and ordered the reversal of the drugs’ approval by the FDA. Mace, who has pushed for abortion access in the past, argued during the interview Monday that the judge’s decision was in error and that the FDA should ignore the ruling.
“In fact, when you look at the court case and the ruling here the judge used an act or a law from the 1800s that was overturned by the Supreme Court in 1983, over one hundred years later, roughly, that that law was unconstitutional,” Mace said.
