Supreme Court Upholds Access to Abortion Pill for Now.

The Supreme Court has granted the Justice Department's request to maintain the FDA's approval of the abortion pill, mifepristone, while legal proceedings continue. The decision preserves access to the drug and reinstates several steps by the agency that made it easier to obtain. The case, brought by a conservative legal organization, is the most significant involving abortion since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year. The Biden administration and Danco Laboratories, the maker of the drug, turned to the Supreme Court after a federal judge in Texas suspended the FDA's approval of the drug on April 7.
