Pro-Life Coalition Fractures With Trump Over Abortion Pill Access

After the Supreme Court preserved access to telemedicine abortions, anti-abortion groups intensified pressure on the Trump administration to act on abortion pills and funding for Planned Parenthood, pressing meetings with the FDA and DOJ and signaling that failure could hurt GOP turnout in the midterms; they want swift use of powers to curb access, including potential moves like the Comstock Act to ban mail-order abortions and defund Planned Parenthood, though some insiders caution the White House ultimately holds the leverage.

Georgia Supreme Court stays conservative edge as GOP-backed incumbents win

Two Georgia Supreme Court races ended with GOP-backed incumbents Sarah Warren and Charlie Bethel winning re-election, keeping conservative control of the bench; liberal challengers Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin were unable to flip seats, highlighting abortion and voting-rights debates that activists say should play out in state courts. Turnout was light and results were delayed by a nearby shooting at a polling site; eight of nine justices were appointed by Republicans, with three seats up again in 2028.

Grief, Not Guilt: Nevada Stillbirth Case Exposes Risks of Criminalizing Pregnancy Outcomes

Grief, Not Guilt: Nevada Stillbirth Case Exposes Risks of Criminalizing Pregnancy Outcomes

A Nevada mother, Patience Rousseau, spent over two years in prison after a 2018 Facebook post and cop-misinterpreted actions were used to charges of manslaughter in a stillbirth, despite abortion being legal in the state. A 2021 ruling vacated the conviction for ineffective counsel, and she received a $100,000 settlement in 2025; the case underscores a broader trend of prosecutors using broad or old laws to criminalize pregnancy outcomes rather than focusing on the fetus’s harm. It also concerns the mishandling of the baby’s remains and highlights calls for reform and greater support for pregnant people facing loss and poverty.

Acting FDA chief seeks pro-life reassurance after Planned Parenthood ties emerge

Acting FDA Commissioner Kyle Diamantas has been telling anti‑abortion leaders he personally opposes abortion while facing questions about past work as outside counsel for a Planned Parenthood Florida clinic (2014–2017) and his later removal from that case for conscience reasons; some filings still list him, prompting skepticism from conservatives. The FDA has pledged a science‑based review of the abortion pill’s REMS and to provide updates, while Diamantas did not respond to questions about the case; the White House defended him amid ongoing debates over mifepristone policy and the agency’s leadership.

Court Keeps Mail-Order Abortion Pill Accessible as Legal Fight Continues

The Supreme Court paused a lower-court ruling that would have required in-person pickup of the abortion pill mifepristone, allowing patients to continue receiving it by mail and via telehealth while Louisiana’s challenge to FDA rules proceeds, a decision issued with dissent from Justices Thomas and Alito. The ruling preserves current access for now but leaves the broader legal battle over medication abortion rules unresolved as the case moves through the courts and across states with bans.

Supreme Court Keeps Mail-Order Abortion Pill Access Intact

In a shadow-docket ruling, the Supreme Court blocked the Fifth Circuit’s attempt to ban mail-order mifepristone, keeping nationwide access available for now as Louisiana’s challenge moves back to the Fifth Circuit. The 7-2 decision, with Justices Thomas and Alito dissenting, highlights ongoing clashes between state abortion restrictions, federal drug regulation, and the Comstock Act, while the FDA continues its safety review of mifepristone and the case awaits further appellate action.

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.

Supreme Court Keeps Abortion-Pill Access Open as Mifepristone Case Winds Through Court

The Supreme Court on Monday extended a short-term stay allowing patients to continue obtaining the abortion pill mifepristone via telehealth visits and mail through Thursday at 5 p.m. ET, while it weighs an emergency appeal. The extension preserves access after the 5th Circuit had ordered in-person visits, a ruling that sparked chaos for providers. The case ties FDA policy on mifepristone to the broader Dobbs era of abortion politics, with Louisiana challenging the FDA and both Danco Laboratories and GenBioPro filing emergency appeals.

Supreme Court Keeps Abortion Pill Accessible Across Telehealth as Case Moves Forward

The Supreme Court temporarily blocked a ruling that would severely limit access to the abortion pill mifepristone, allowing it to be obtained via telehealth, mail, and pharmacies for now while the case proceeds.

Court freezes ruling on abortion-pill access, preserving mifepristone status quo

The Supreme Court temporarily blocks a lower-court decision that would have restricted nationwide access to the abortion pill mifepristone, keeping current federal rules in place at least until May 11 while it weighs emergency requests from drug makers; the case centers on whether the Biden administration’s Covid-era rules that eased dispensing should stand and how it affects in-person versus mailed access.
