U.S. Food and Drug Administration v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine is a pending United States Supreme Court case to challenge the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s approval of mifepristone,a drug frequently used in medical abortion procedures. The plaintiffs,led by the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine (AHM),argue that the FDA did not properly approve the use of the drug mifepristone for pregnancy termination under Federal Food,Drug,and Cosmetic Act regulations and ask for an injunction to withdraw the drug's approval,thus removing it from the market. AHM's suit followed the Supreme Court's ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization in 2022,which reversed Roe v. Wade and asserted there was no constitutional right to abortion at the federal level,leading to conservative states and groups to further restrict abortion access.
