"Supreme Court Abortion Pill Case: Impact of Retracted Studies on Science"

TL;DR Summary
A scientific paper raising concerns about the safety of the abortion pill mifepristone, which was cited in a federal case, has been retracted by its publisher due to a lack of scientific rigor. The retracted study, conducted by authors affiliated with an anti-abortion lobbying group, was used to support a case challenging the abortion pill's approval. Legal experts believe the retraction may not significantly impact the upcoming Supreme Court case, which is scheduled for March 26, regarding the regulation of mifepristone.
