"Supreme Court Case on Mifepristone: Impact on Abortion Access"

Medical professionals tout mifepristone as safe, while opponents attribute "emergency complications" to the drug. Studies show that serious adverse events from mifepristone are rare, with the pill resulting in a completed abortion 97.4% of the time. The FDA's decision to ease restrictions on mifepristone, allowing mail-order distribution, is at the heart of the case.

Doctors worry about increased costs, reduced access to IVF, and potential national implications of the decision, which could lead to fewer IVF providers and higher liability costs. The ruling may also prompt the need for embryos to be stored in other states, increasing logistical challenges and costs for patients.
