Will SCOTUS Shelve Medication Abortion?
·1 min
The Supreme Court is preparing to hear a case that could impose restrictions on access to a common abortion pill. The case comes after the landmark ruling in Alabama and the overturning of Roe v. Wade. The focus of the case is the medication abortion drug Mifepristone. The FDA’s approval of the drug is being challenged, and a federal judge has already suspended its use. The Supreme Court’s decision could have significant implications for women in Republican states. Medication abortions currently account for 63% of all abortions in the US.
