Abortion pill access and bans spark nationwide debate.

TL;DR Summary
Abortion rights supporters across the US are rallying against a Texas judge's decision to reverse the FDA's approval of mifepristone, a key abortion drug. The Supreme Court stayed the decision on Friday, but it's unclear which states would be covered by the ruling if the court declines to block it past Wednesday. Medication abortions now account for more than half of US abortions, making them increasingly the focus of the legal fight over abortion rights. Several doctors and patients spoke at a rally in Washington, DC, organized by Planned Parenthood, voicing outrage at the decision and sharing their experiences with abortion.
