The three members of the US 5th Circuit Court of Appeals panel that will hear the Biden administration's appeal to keep the abortion pill mifepristone available are all staunchly conservative and have records of opposing abortion rights. Jennifer Walker Elrod, James Ho, and Cory Wilson were appointed by former Presidents George W. Bush and Donald Trump. They have supported restrictions on medication abortions, created barriers to clinics operating in Texas, and voted to uphold fetal burial or cremation laws. Furthermore, they have rejected a Mississippi abortion ban while arguing against the constitutional right to abortion.
