"Justice Samuel Alito's order Monday allows women seeking abortions to continue obtaining the pill at pharmacies or through the mail, without an in-person visit to a doctor. It prevents restrictions on mifepristone imposed by a federal appeals court from taking effect for the time being."
"The Supreme Court is leaving women's access to a widely used abortion pill untouched until at least Thursday, while the justices consider whether to allow restrictions on the drug, mifepristone, to take effect."
"The court is dealing with its latest abortion controversy four years after its conservative majority overturned Roe v. Wade and allowed more than a dozen states to effectively ban abortion outright."
The Supreme Court is keeping women’s access to mifepristone unchanged while it considers whether restrictions on the drug should be allowed to take effect. Justice Samuel Alito issued an order that permits continued access to the pill through pharmacies or by mail. The order also maintains the ability to obtain the medication without an in-person visit to a doctor. It prevents restrictions imposed by a federal appeals court from becoming effective for the time being. The matter is part of ongoing abortion litigation following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, which enabled states to impose broad abortion bans.
