The Supreme Court has extended women’s access to an abortion pill until Friday while the justices consider whether to allow lower-court restrictions on mifepristone to take effect.
Rep. Katherine Clark, D-Mass., the House minority whip, center, joins members of the House Pro-Choice Caucus and Democratic Women's Caucus at an event calling to protect access to abortion medication, at the Capitol in Washington, Wednesday, April 19, 2023. The Supreme Court is deciding whether women will face restrictions in getting a drug, mifepristone, that is the most common method of abortion in the United States.
The justices are expected to issue an order on Wednesday in a fast-moving case from Texas in which abortion opponents are seeking to roll back Food and Drug Administration approval of the drug, mifepristone. The legal fight over abortion comes less than a year after conservative justices reversed Roe v. Wade and allowed more than a dozen states to effectively ban abortion outright.
Less than a week later, a federal appeals court modified the ruling so that mifepristone would remain available while the case continues, but with limits. The appeals court said that the drug can’t be mailed or dispensed as a generic and that patients who seek it need to make three in-person visits with a doctor, among other things.
Complicating the situation, a federal judge in Washington has ordered the FDA to preserve access to mifepristone under the current rules in 17 Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia that filed a separate lawsuit. If the justices aren’t inclined to block the ruling from taking effect for now, the Democratic administration and Danco have a fallback argument, asking the court to take up the challenge to mifepristone, hear arguments and decide the case by early summer.
