Supreme Court Keeps Abortion Pill Mailings Open During Louisiana Challenge

The Supreme Court blocked a lower-court order that would have halted mailing mifepristone, allowing telehealth prescriptions for the abortion pill to continue while Louisiana challenges its legality. Mailed access has contributed to rising telehealth abortions—about a quarter of all abortions and half of those in states with bans—amid ongoing legal fights that could reach the Court again, with dissents from Justices Thomas and Alito criticizing the decision.
