Supreme Court Temporarily Lifts Mail Ban on Abortion Pill Mifepristone
The U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily lifted a lower court's ban on mailing the abortion pill mifepristone, allowing its distribution through the mail until at least May 11. The decision comes amid ongoing legal challenges by Louisiana over the FDA's 2023 rule change allowing the drug to be administered remotely. The move affects access to the drug, which is used in about two-thirds of U.S. abortions.
