About this episode

The Supreme Court temporarily reinstates mail and pharmacy access to the abortion pill mifepristone amid ongoing legal challenges.

The Supreme Court temporarily reinstates mail and pharmacy access to the abortion pill mifepristone, following a ruling by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals that limited access to in-person pickup. The case began when Louisiana sued the FDA over their 2023 rules allowing telemedicine prescriptions and mail delivery. Abortion pill makers intervened, but the Fifth Circuit sided with Louisiana, arguing the FDAs moves undermined state abortion laws. GenBioPro, one of the companies, appealed to the Supreme Court, warning of disrupted access and patient care. Briefs are due by Thursday, keeping the debate alive as courts continue to rule on the issue. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
