Supreme Court to Review Abortion Pill Restrictions

The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case challenging access to the abortion pill, mifepristone, in what will be the most significant reproductive rights case since the court overturned Roe v Wade. The Biden administration had asked the court to overturn a decision that limited access to the drug over safety concerns raised by anti-abortion groups. The case, brought by an umbrella group of anti-abortion doctors and activists, puts the court back in the position to decide American reproductive rights. The court's ruling, expected next summer, could have major implications for abortion access and FDA-approved drugs.
