"These are tragic but predictable consequences of prioritizing politics over public health, the states said in the complaint."
"The agency is legally required to approve generics that are identical to their brand-name counterparts."
"Evita's website says it believes that all people should have access to safe, affordable, high-quality, effective, and compassionate healthcare, including abortion care."
Texas and Florida filed a federal lawsuit in Wichita Falls challenging FDA approvals of mifepristone, including Evita Solutions' newly approved generic. The Republican attorneys general allege the FDA has not thoroughly evaluated the drug's safety and effectiveness since its 2000 approval and ignored risks to women. The complaint also contests regulations adopted under former presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden and alleges the FDA acted arbitrarily, capriciously, contrary to federal law, or beyond its powers under the Administrative Procedure Act. Evita affirms support for access to safe, affordable abortion care, while over 100 studies across decades conclude mifepristone is safe and effective.
