ANNAPOLIS, MD - Governor Wes Moore released the following statement following the ruling on Mifepristone from the U.S. Supreme Court:

“Mifepristone has served as a safe and effective healthcare option since the FDA approved two-dose medication for abortions more than 20 years ago for more than 5 million people.

Today’s unanimous ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court is a win for reproductive rights. Attempts to restrict access to mifepristone were not based on scientific or legal justification, but political motivation to dismantle women’s rights to make decisions for their own healthcare.

L?et me be clear: reproductive freedom is non-negotiable. Though today’s ruling is a necessary step in the right direction, over a dozen states still have near-total abortion plans in place. Maryland will remain vigilant, continuing to stand proudly with other states to protect reproductive rights and ensure that Maryland remains a safe haven for abortion and reproductive healthcare access.”
