AI Summary

  • Urges Hawaii's congressional delegation to monitor The Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a federal case challenging FDA approval of mifepristone (the abortion pill).

  • Notes that mifepristone was FDA-approved on September 28, 2000, for medical termination of pregnancy through seven weeks of gestation, extended to ten weeks in 2016.

  • Expresses concern that a ruling in the Alliance case could effectively ban mifepristone nationwide and prevent healthcare providers from prescribing it even in states where abortion is legal.

  • Calls on Hawaii's congressional delegation to take action to limit the case from further restricting access to safe abortion and medication abortion options.

  • Requires certified copies of the resolution to be transmitted to members of Hawaii's congressional delegation.
