Supreme Court Saves Abortion Pill Mifepristone—for Now
The Supreme Court restored access to the abortion drug mifepristone Monday, overturning a lower court ruling last week that blocked the pill from being distributed by mail.
Justice Samuel Alito signed the measure, which temporarily lifts restrictions that mandated visiting a doctor or clinic in person in order to obtain the medication, following a ruling from the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday. Both sides of the case have a week to respond before the court weighs in further.
This is a developing story.
