West Virginia can restrict the sale of the abortion pill, despite federal regulators’ approval of it as a safe and effective medication, a federal judge has ruled.

U.S. District Court Judge Robert C. Chambers determined Thursday that the near-total abortion ban signed by Republican Gov. Jim Justice in September 2022 takes precedence over approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

    Yea. I think key words are restrict sales. Sure WV doesn’t have to sell them, but they can’t stop people from getting it elsewhere, at least not with this ruling.
