Supreme Court Decision on FDA's Rules on Abortion Medication

The Supreme Court upheld the FDA's rules on abortion medication, ensuring continued access to mifepristone for medication abortions and miscarriage care. Doctors opposing abortion lost their legal challenge. More challenges may arise in the future, but for now, mifepristone remains available up to 10 weeks of pregnancy.

Supreme Court's Consideration of Restricting Abortion Medication Access

The Supreme Court's anti-abortion majority is considering restricting women's access to abortion medication, which could impact states where abortion is legal. Conservative judges in Texas are pushing to impose stricter rules on abortion pills. The case involves a group of doctors challenging the FDA's approval of mifepristone. Abortion-rights advocates are concerned about the potential implications of the case.
