E.P.A., 549 U.S. 497, 526 n.23 (2007) (“Even a small probability of injury is sufficient … provided of course that the relief sought would, if granted, reduce the probability.”); Deanda v. Becerra, No. 2:20-CV-092-Z, 2022 WL 17572093, at *2 (N.D. Tex. Dec. 8, 2022) (collecting cases).

For similar reasons, Defendants’ reliance on City of Los Angeles v. Lyons also fails. 461 U.S. 95 (1983). There, the Supreme Court held Lyons did not have standing to seek injunctive relief because “[t]here was no finding that Lyons faced a real and immediate threat of again being illegally choked” by Los Angeles police. Id. at 110. The Lyons holding “is based on the obvious proposition that a prospective remedy will provide no relief for an injury that is, and likely will remain, entirely in the past.” ''Am. Postal Workers Union v. Frank'', 968 F.2d 1373, 1376 (1st Cir. 1992). “No such reluctance, however, is warranted here.” Hernandez v. Cremer, 913 F.2d 230, 234 (5th Cir. 1990). Considering FDA’s 2021 decision to permit “mail-in” chemical abortion, many women and girls will consume mifepristone without physician supervision. And in maternity-care “deserts,” women may not have ready access to emergency care. In sum, there are fewer safety restrictions for women and girls today than ever before. Plaintiffs have good reasons to believe their alleged injuries will continue in the future, and possibly with greater frequency than in the past.
