"Supreme Court Justices Navigate Controversy Over Abortion Pills and Women's Health"

TL;DR Summary
The US Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a lawsuit seeking to challenge FDA approval of the abortion drug mifepristone, with conservative justices expressing skepticism of the plaintiffs' claims to legal standing. The case, brought by anti-abortion doctors, has faced controversy and lowered legal standards, with the court signaling a likely dismissal on standing grounds. However, the oral arguments also revealed the anti-choice movement's strategy to use the Comstock Act to potentially ban all abortions nationwide, signaling a concerning development for future cases.
