Supreme Court's Decision on Abortion Pill Access Looms

The US Supreme Court is facing a deadline to decide whether to restrict women's access to the abortion pill, mifepristone, while a legal challenge to its FDA approval is ongoing. The challenge, brought by abortion opponents, argues that the FDA's approval of the drug was flawed. The Supreme Court is being asked to block lower-court rulings through the end of the legal case, but the administration and mifepristone's maker, Danco Laboratories, have a fallback argument if the court doesn't agree. They are asking the court to take up the challenge to mifepristone, hear arguments, and decide the case by early summer.
