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

Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Guardian

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.

Supreme Court Leans Toward Preserving Access to Abortion Drug Mifepristone

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Vox.com

The Supreme Court seemed disinterested during oral arguments in the case seeking to ban the abortion drug mifepristone, with most justices focusing on the question of whether any federal judge had jurisdiction to hear the case. The plaintiffs, anti-abortion doctors and organizations, argue that they have standing to restrict access to mifepristone due to potential future injuries, but the justices expressed skepticism about their standing theory. The Court's decision could determine whether the meritless lawsuit continues for years, potentially being repeatedly revived by a judge determined to ban abortions, or whether the case will be put to bed forever.
