Supreme Court's Abortion Pill Case Raises Uncertainty and Concerns

As the Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments on a case that could impact access to the abortion pill, mifepristone, concerns are growing about the future of the drug. Abortion-rights groups worry that a ruling against mifepristone could limit access to the medication, which is used in over 50% of abortions in the US. The drug is also used for medically-assisted miscarriages and in the treatment of Cushing's syndrome. Advocates are calling for guidance from the FDA to ensure continued availability of the medication, but uncertainty remains about the potential impact of a Supreme Court ruling on these other uses.
