No state challenged the approval of mifepristone. You're inferring an argument that was not made. Moreover the lawsuit by the Church group alleges that a hypothetical woman might suffer depression or side effects in taking the medication as it's sole arguments for the injunction, there is no actual affected individual behind the suit. Since we know the FDA approved the medication, that doctors are required by law to discuss the side effects before prescribing, what then is the argument.
