Three states filed a lengthy complaint Thursday in Amarillo federal court reviving the dormant lawsuit challenging looser restrictions on the use of an abortion drug.

Trump-appointed Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk ruled Thursday that Idaho, Kansas, and Missouri can pursue legal action to prohibit the FDA from allowing online prescriptions.

A federal judge in Texas ruled that three states can challenge the current rules of accessibility for abortion pills.

Instead of dismissing the case, Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk said three states with no connection to Texas can sue the FDA to try to reimpose restrictions on mifepristone.

The states want the federal Food and Drug Administration to prohibit telehealth prescriptions for mifepristone and require that it be used only in the first seven weeks of pregnancy instead of the current limit of 10 weeks.

Three states will get to proceed with their challenge to the use of an abortion drug - after a ruling by a federal judge in Texas. Idaho, Kansas and Missouri want the FDA to block the drug mifepristone.

Missouri, Kansas and Idaho can press forward with their lawsuit to restrict access to the abortion drug mifepristone, a federal judge ruled Thursday, months after the US Supreme Court had rejected an earlier version of the legal challenge.

A man accused of shooting an 8-year-old boy in the head in a road rage incident has now pleaded guilty, Texas court records show.

The states of Idaho, Kansas and Missouri made the request in U.S. District Court in Amarillo, Texas. The only judge based there is Matthew Kacsmaryk, a nominee of former President Donald Trump who previously ruled in favor of a challenge to the pill’s approval.
