The Abortion Pill Mifepristone Comes Back to the Supreme Court
About this episode
The episode discusses the Supreme Court's consideration of the abortion pill mifepristone and the implications of its mail dispensing regulations.
Federal regulations permit the drug to be dispensed by mail without a doctor's visit, but after an appeals court rules against that policy, Justice Samuel Alito halts any change until the Supreme Court can consider it. Plus, does mifepristone by mail present concerns that women might be privately coerced into taking it? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
