Dueling abortion rulings heats up debate

A federal judge in Amarillo, Texas, Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk (Kaz-MARE-ick), a Trump appointee, issued an order on Good Friday, April 7th banning the Abortion Kill Pill, mifepristone. Judge Thomas Rice, an Obama appointee, issued a conflicting order that allows the Abortion Kill Pill to remain legal in 15 states and D.C. These are “dueling” cases that will both be appealed quickly to different Circuit Courts of Appeal. Very likely this will end up in the Supreme Court.
