This is not a case of "legislation" from the bench.  The district court order is here:  https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/legaldocs/myvmojgodvr/ND%20Texas%20Abortion%20Pill%20Ruling%202023-04-07.pdf 

The order is 64 pages of detailed reasoning.  One may disagree or one may agree with the judge's conclusions, but this was not put together in a hasty manner by an activist judge.

137 separate motions, briefs, and other court documents were filed by countless interested parties and considered by the court.   The docket is tabulated here with some summaries:  https://clearinghouse.net/case/43886/?docket_page=1#docket

The plaintiffs convinced this judge that more likely than not that the FDA did not follow it's own rules when approving mifepristone and misoprostol as a combination to accomplish abortion.  If you have time to skim the opinion, you will see why, and you will know more about the issues underlying this case than 99% of the morons writing about it in the press.  Another court disagrees, as you probably know, setting this up nicely for appellate court review.  Expect these drugs to be available while the appeals are argued.

I am posting only because the press has over-simplified the process that resulted in the Court's order to be basically: "a radical right wing judge outlawed the abortion drugs from the bench."  This is ignorance foisted on the public by the press.  The truth is that a District Court after reviewing mountains of evidence and arguments from both the FDA and medical professionals determined that the FDA did not follow it's own procedures when it issued an evolving series of authorizations for the use of these drugs to accomplish abortions.  Another Court disagrees as noted above.  This is a difficult case.  Bottom line though, it is the District Court's job to stay the FDA ruling if the fact show that they violated their own procedures.  This is basic checks and balances.   

I have no idea if the plaintiffs or the FDA ultimately wins.  I just hate to see the beginning of a lengthy judicial review process reduced to a political sound-bite by the press.
