SCOTUS Keeps Abortion Pill Access Open via Telehealth and Mail

The Supreme Court temporarily preserves access to the abortion pill mifepristone by allowing telehealth visits and mail distribution to continue, maintaining the status quo while Louisiana’s challenge proceeds in the federal courts; the court paused a May 1 ruling requiring in-person visits, Justices Thomas and Alito dissented, and the merits will likely be reviewed again in the appeals court before any final ruling.
