DOJ seeks Supreme Court intervention in abortion pill access case.
TL;DR
The Justice Department will ask the Supreme Court to restore full access to the abortion drug mifepristone after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that it could no longer be dispensed by mail and was approved for use up to seven weeks of pregnancy during the appeals process. The Biden administration had previously asked for an emergency stay on a lower court's injunction ruling that would block the FDA's approval of mifepristone. The Supreme Court has not yet indicated if it will take up the case.
