The state of Washington has secured a three-year supply of abortion pills in anticipation of a nationwide ban.
The Democratic-run state has received a shipment of 30,000 doses of generic mifepristone, one of two drugs used to induce an abortion at home.
The move is a direct response to a pending lawsuit in Texas overseen by federal judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, who is considering whether to revoke the FDA's approval of the drugs in an unprecedented move.
If he does move to revoke the approval, it would effectively end the ability of providers or pharmacists nationwide to purchase the medication and kick off a lengthy process by the FDA to re-approve the drug.
By purchasing the medication now, the state government is ensuring the medication will remain available to providers and patients in Washington, regardless of the imminent Texas ruling.
Washington Gov Jay Inslee said on Tuesday that he had directed the state Department of Corrections, which is authorized to act as a pharmacy, to buy up thousands of pills.
State lawmakers unveiled legislation that gives the DOC the power to distribute or sell the medication to licensed health providers across the state.
Gov Inslee’s actions are aligned with those of Attorney General Bob Ferguson who is leading a multistate lawsuit in federal court that aims to further ease restrictions on the medication.
Gov Inslee said at a press conference Tuesday: ‘This Texas lawsuit is a clear and present danger to patients and providers all across the country. Washington will not sit by idly and risk the devastating consequences of inaction.

Hadn’t noticed this lawsuit. What’s the rationale for making FDA go through the approval process again?
Washington has gathered to itself the means to murder 30,000 of its citizens.

Trannies can get preggers as well. Gonna need more pills.
I’m fully convinced that the leftists are worshipping lucifer. I’m not just saying that either. Look at the lengths they are going to just to ensure that child sacrifice continues without interruption. The trannyism and LGBT crap are a rebellion against God. The left is satanic. That’s really all you can say. I do believe that the elites are knowingly worshipping the evil one. Not just misguided. But actively choosing to worship lucifer. I could be wrong, but that is my belief and all evidence points to it.
I wonder if it is because over half the patients die? /s
Just another market for the drug cartels.
I’m so disgusted by what WA state has become though it’s mainly the loons in Seattle, Olympia, etc.
Hoarding abortion pills. J Idiot at his best. $42.50 per dead baby....what a bargain. He must be so proud.
Half of them can....
Due to pending legislation and until further legal notice, PSA will prioritize all orders shipping to Washington State.
Such dedication on their part. Slavishly devoted.
