Alliance For Hippocratic Medicine V. FDA
''Food and Drug Administration v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine'', 602 U.S. 367 (2024), was a 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), argued 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 asked 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.
