Washington, DC–Following news that Trump-appointed Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk has allowed three Republican-led states to move forward with legal challenges to abortion pill access, despite the Supreme Court last year finding that they did not have standing to challenge the FDA’s approval of mifepristone, Demand Justice Managing Director Maggie Jo Buchanan released this statement: 

“These are the kinds of judges Trump appointed in his first term as president–and we can only expect his nominees over the next four years to be even more extreme.

“Americans deserve better than judges who twist legal standards to advance extreme, partisan interests that endanger the very lives and freedoms of ordinary people. When the far-right can’t achieve their goals at the ballot box, they turn to MAGA judges to push these kinds of dangerous and unpopular policies on the American people. This is deeply antithetical to our judicial system and our democracy.”
