Supreme Court Temporarily Restores Access To Abortion Pill Mifepristone – Full Article

The Supreme Court on Monday temporarily restored broad access to the abortion pill Mifepristone, blocking a lower court ruling that threatened to change how one of the nation’s most commonly used abortion methods is provided.

The order, signed by Justice Samuel Alito, allows women seeking abortions to continue obtaining the pill through pharmacies, telehealth, and the mail, without an in-person visit to a doctor, Newsmax reported.

The rules had been in place for several years before a federal appeals court imposed new restrictions last week. Medication abortions account for a majority of abortions in the United States, usually involving mifepristone followed by a second drug, misoprostol.
