So this legal issue, which is incredibly important because now one Judge could overrule the FDA on any med, will be decided with no opinion on the shadow docket. And in the majority will be the guy who illegally failed to report bribes to rule on case exactly like this.
Anti-vaxxed field day.

Didn't the Washington State ruling basically counter the Texas ruling?
Of course it will be ignored. You think people are going to allow their loved ones that suffer a miscarriage to get substandard care because of one loony women-hating judge in Texas?
The doctors who need to prescribe this drug and the companies that manufacture, distribute and sell it are not in a position to ignore a ruling by a federal judge no matter how absurd it is. They all have lawyers and insurance policies that won’t let them.
If DOJ doesn't get a stay from either the Fifth or SCOTUS, the FDA will announce it is exercising enforcement discretion to not go after anyone selling the abortion pill. They will have to do this to comply with the WA injunction and doing that would not violate the TX order.
Does that make it fine for any MD to write a prescription for this medication?
FDA doesn't regulate MD's prescribing of any drug. It regulates what can be sold and dispensed, so the issue will be whether the pharmacy will dispense it and whether the drug companies will keep making it and selling it.
That’s not accurate. See, for instance, the constraints on who can Rx medication assisted treatment for opioid abuse—and how many patients they can have at a time.

That should end well. /s
That’s one way to overturn the Washington injunction protecting availability
They didn’t appeal that one. And any ruling SCOTUS makes on this motion is non-precedential.

It's the Republican definition. Just like being pro-life is not actually about babies, "states rights" is not actually about the rights of the states to make decisions for themselves.
