Attorney General Mayes Releases Statement on SCOTUS Mifepristone Order

PHOENIX—Attorney General Mayes released the following statement on today's order from the United States Supreme Court on mifepristone: 

"Mifepristone is legal in Arizona. The Supreme Court paused an appalling ruling by a judge in Texas to strip the FDA approval of mifepristone. Our state is also protected by a separate case out of Washington state. That judge ordered the FDA to keep mifepristone available in several states. Bottom line: Arizona health care providers can continue to prescribe mifepristone and misoprostol to patients for abortion and miscarriage care just as they did before these cases started. And I will do everything in my power to keep it that way."
