Supreme Court's Decision on Abortion Pill Restrictions Imminent

The Supreme Court is expected to decide on the fate of the abortion pill, mifepristone, which is used in more than half of abortions across the United States while an appeal moves forward. The Biden administration is seeking to maintain the FDA's approval of the drug after an appeals court said it would place limitations on the medication. The prolonged legal clash reflects a muddled and fast-moving landscape for mifepristone, marked by conflicting Federal District Court decisions and an appeals panel ruling that further complicated the drug's status. The dispute started in Texas in November, when an umbrella group of anti-abortion medical organizations and several doctors sued the FDA, challenging its approval more than two decades ago of the abortion pill.
