Hyde-Smith denounces Supreme Court ruling on abortion pill access
SUMMARY: The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the FDA's regulation of the abortion pill, mifepristone, maintaining its availability without requiring an in-person doctor visit. This ruling is a setback for the anti-abortion movement, which sought to limit access to the pill. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith criticized the decision, asserting ongoing efforts to challenge FDA regulations on chemical abortion drugs due to safety concerns. Justice Brett Kavanaugh, writing for the unanimous court, stated that the plaintiffs lacked standing to sue based on others' use of the drug and emphasized protections for doctors' conscientious objections. This is the first major Supreme Court case on reproductive rights since overturning Roe v. Wade in 2022.
