Supreme Court Issues Controversial Ruling On Abortion Pill Access

THE END – Trump rocks D.C. with big announcement

On May 4, the court, led by conservative Justice Samuel Alito, had provisionally paused the appeals court ruling while the justices considered their next steps, according to multiple published reports.

Two of the court’s conservative justices, Alito and Clarence Thomas, dissented.

Thomas, noting that mailing mifepristone is illegal under Louisiana law, sharply criticized the drug manufacturers, arguing they were not entitled to block a court order “based on lost profits from their criminal enterprise.”

In a separate opinion, Alito said the Biden administration’s 2023 decision to make mifepristone available by mail was an effort to “undermine” the Supreme Court’s 2022 ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade.
