Supreme Court issues ruling on abortion pill access lawsuit.

The US Supreme Court is set to issue a decision on the federal government's approval of mifepristone, a widely used abortion drug, which could impact access to abortion and miscarriage care for millions of Americans. The court paused a lower court ruling that would strip the FDA's approval of mifepristone, and the justices are expected to issue a decision before the order expires at midnight on Friday. The drug was first approved by the FDA in 2000 and is part of a two-drug protocol for medication abortion, the most common form of abortion in the US. Several Democratic-led states are boosting their supplies of mifepristone and protecting providers from criminal prosecution ahead of potential threats to the drug's access.
