A manufacturer of mifepristone, a drug used in medication abortions, on Thursday dropped its legal fight to sell the drug in Mississippi after the state banned nearly all abortions.
GenBioPro Inc. said it was voluntarily dismissing its lawsuit in a filing in federal court in Jackson. The company had argued that federal regulators’ approval of mifepristone to induce abortion at up to 10 weeks of pregnancy overrode the state’s prohibition on nearly all abortions.
