Pelosi Statement on Supreme Court Upholding Full Access to Safe, Effective Mifepristone

Washington, D.C. – Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi issued this statement on the Supreme Court decision in FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine:

“Today’s ruling by the Supreme Court upholding full access to safe, effective mifepristone is the right decision for millions of women nationwide.  This unanimous decision – rightfully declaring that the plaintiff lacks legal standing to challenge FDA actions – rejects a far-right attack on women’s health freedom more rooted in a desire to punish and control women than in science or law.

“Just two years after ripping away fundamental reproductive rights with its outrageous Dobbs decision, the MAGA movement continues its onslaught of anti-women, anti-freedom attacks.  While the Supreme Court made the correct decision today, it must not be forgotten that it is because of Donald Trump and this Court that women today have less freedom than their mothers and their grandmothers.  And the MAGA movement will not rest until it achieves its dark, dangerous dream of a nationwide abortion ban.

“Reproductive health decisions are between women, their families, their faith and their doctors — not extreme right-wing politicians.  Democrats will never rest until we restore the rights of Roe as the law of the land.”
