“The Supreme Court has preserved access to the medication used in the most common form of abortion in the United States. The drug at issue, mifepristone, was used in nearly two thirds of abortions in this country in 2023. The court ruled that the antiabortion doctors who challenged changes that the federal Food and Drug Administration made to the way mifepristone is prescribed and used, had no legal right or standing to file their lawsuit in federal court. Among the changes that the FDA made in recent years was to eliminate the need for an in-person visit and to allow the drugs to be sent by mail.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Sherman, The Associated Press:
“The case is the Supreme Court’s first abortion case since the justices overruled Roe v. Wade two years ago. In that case, the court wiped away a 50-year-old ruling that had guaranteed a woman’s right to an abortion in the United States.”
STORYLINE:
The Supreme Court has preserved access to a medication that was used in nearly two-thirds of all abortions in the U.S. last year.
It’s the court’s first abortion decision since conservative justices overturned Roe v. Wade two years ago.
The justices ruled Thursday that abortion opponents lacked the legal right to sue over the federal Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the medication, mifepristone, and the FDA’s subsequent actions to ease access to it.
The case had threatened to restrict access to mifepristone across the country, including in states where abortion remains legal. It’s one of two abortion cases at the high court this term.
