"Supreme Court Showdown: The Battle Over Abortion Pills"

The Supreme Court is set to hear a case on Tuesday that could impact access to the abortion pill, mifepristone, which is commonly used in medication abortions. The case involves the FDA's 2016 and 2021 changes that made the pill easier to obtain, and the justices will first consider whether the medical associations challenging the FDA's actions have legal standing. The availability of the pill nationwide hangs in the balance, with concerns raised about potential resource-intensive and less safe reproductive care if the FDA's changes are reversed. Medication abortions made up over half of all abortions in the U.S. in 2023, and the case's outcome could have significant implications for abortion access across the country.
