GOP Rep. Mace joins AOC in urging FDA to "ignore" abortion pill freeze

What they're saying: "I believe that the Biden administration should ignore this ruling," Ocasio-Cortez said in an appearance on CNN. The courts are making "a mockery of our system, a mockery of our democracy and a mockery of our law."

• "I think one of the things that we need to examine is the grounds of that ruling. But I do not believe that the courts have the authority to, have the authority over the FDA that they just asserted, and I do believe that it creates a crisis," she added.

Mace similarly said in her own interview with CNN that "this is an FDA-approved drug. Whether you agree with its usage or not, that's not your decision. That is the FDA’s decision."

• "I support the usage of FDA-approved drugs even if we might disagree. It's not up to us to decide as legislators or even the court system ... So I agree with ignoring [the ruling] at this point."

Yes, but: The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has already warned against the idea.

• "People are rightly frustrated about this decision — but as dangerous a precedent it sets for a court to disregard FDA’s expert judgment regarding a drug’s safety and efficacy, it would also set a dangerous precedent for the Administration to disregard a binding decision," HHS spokesperson Kamara Jones tweeted.

Worth noting: The case and its dueling rulings are expected to end up at the Supreme Court.

• The Department of Justice filed an appeal of the Texas decision on Monday.
