Appeals court imposes tighter rules on abortion pill access.
TL;DR Summary
The US Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit has allowed partial access to the abortion drug mifepristone while a federal case plays out, but with new limitations on how the drug can be dispensed. The drug remains approved for use up to seven weeks of pregnancy while the case is being appealed, down from the previous 10 weeks. The drug can no longer be sent in the mail at least for now. The Biden administration can appeal the Fifth Circuit's decision to the Supreme Court.
