A federal judge in Texas is allowing three other states to pursue a challenge seeking to restrict access to the abortion pill mifepristone nationwide.

The states want the federal Food and Drug Administration to prohibit telehealth prescriptions for mifepristone and require that it be used only in the first seven weeks of pregnancy instead of the current limit of 10 weeks.

Three states will get to proceed with their challenge to the use of an abortion drug - after a ruling by a federal judge in Texas. Idaho, Kansas and Missouri want the FDA to block the drug mifepristone.
