Supreme Court Delays Decision on Abortion Pill Access Until Friday

The US Supreme Court has extended a temporary stay on the FDA's approval of the abortion pill, mifepristone, until Friday amid ongoing litigation. The decision comes after a Texas order deemed the drug unsafe, marking the first time a court invalidated the agency's calculation of a drug's safety and effectiveness. The Biden administration had asked for an emergency stay, stating the appeals court ruling would put the FDA in an "impossible position."
