The Supreme Court's Considerations in Medication Abortion Case

As the Supreme Court prepares to hear a case on medication abortion, five issues could attract the attention of the justices, including whether the plaintiffs have standing to bring the case, the authority of federal agencies to assess public health, and the impact of the ruling on the regulatory landscape. The case could also have implications for states that allow abortion, as the judge's decision would severely cut back on access to medication abortion. Critics of the judge's decision fear it could confuse patients and restrict access to safe therapeutic options.
