Supreme Court's Abortion Pill Ruling Sparks Reproductive Health Crisis in America

The US Supreme Court has kept in place federal rules for the use of mifepristone, one of the two drugs used in medication abortions, sparing safe havens for those seeking to end their pregnancies in California, New York, and other states. The court's position at least pauses a ruling issued last Wednesday by the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans that would have allowed mifepristone sales to continue, but under rules adopted by the Food and Drug Administration in 2000, before a series of changes that relaxed access. The legal saga isn't over, as the Supreme Court suggested it will decide the issue by Wednesday.
