New York Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called on President Joe Biden’s administration to ignore a ruling from a federal judge in Texas that suspended the approval of a common abortion pill, mifepristone.
“The executive branch has an enforcement discretion,” Ocasio-Cortez said on CNN’s “State of the Union,” also calling the ruling “a mockery of our democracy and a mockery of our law.”
“This ruling is an extreme abuse of power. It is an extraordinary example of judicial overreach,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
Ocasio-Cortez isn’t the only Democrat who says the White House should ignore the ruling.
Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden said Friday that he believes the Biden administration and the Food and Drug Administration “has the authority to ignore this ruling.”
