turn up the volume for this one, the justice department ha appealed a federal judge s ruling suspending the fd approval of a key abortion drug it is also asking the appeal court to stop that decisio from taking effect until the appeals process played out as of now, the ruling is set t take effect on friday. the case is widely expected to work its way to the suprem court. so, let s find out what it means now. i want to bring in my dear friends katie benner, pulitzer prize-winning justic department reporter for the ne york times and professor melissa murray o nyu law school melissa, break this down for us what is the doj asking for i today s appeal what do we need to know? they re asking for th intermediate appellate court that judge kacsmaryk directl is right under, they re asking the appeals court to essentially stay judge kacsmaryk ruling so doesn t go into effect, so this can
