Supreme Court takes up abortion pill disputeĀ
SUMMARY: The Supreme Court will take up a case that could limit access to the abortion pill mifepristone, with a decision expected by the end of June. The case involves a lawsuit regarding the FDA's approval process for the drug. The Biden administration and the manufacturer appealed a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, which allowed mifepristone to remain on the market in states where abortion is legal but restricted changes made by the FDA since 2016. Anti-abortion providers want the Supreme Court to review the entire ruling, but the Court's orders only address the recent changes to ease access.
