The Supreme Court on Thursday preserved\u00a0access to mifepristone,<\/u> a widely used abortion pill.\u00a0<\/p>

The court\u2019s order allows women seeking abortions to continue obtaining the drug, mifepristone, at pharmacies or through the mail, without an in-person visit to a doctor.\u00a0<\/p>

The federal Food and Drug Administration, which first approved mifepristone for use in abortion in 2000, stopped requiring in-person visits five years ago.<\/p>

<\/div>

Dig deeper:<\/p>

The case before the court stems from a lawsuit Louisiana filed to roll back the Food and Drug Administration\u2019s rules on how mifepristone can be prescribed.<\/p>

The state claims the policy undermines its abortion ban, and it questions the safety of the drug, which was first approved in 2000 and has repeatedly been deemed safe and effective by FDA scientists.<\/p>

Lower courts concluded that Louisiana is likely to prevail, and a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that mail access and telehealth visits should be suspended while the case plays out.<\/p>

What they’re saying:<\/p>

Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented, with Thomas writing that the two companies, Danco Laboratories and GenBioPro, are not entitled to the court’s action to spare them “lost profits from their criminal enterprise.”<\/p>

What is mifepristone?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>

The drug is most often used for abortion in combination with another drug, misoprostol.\u00a0<\/p>

Medication abortions accounted for nearly two-thirds of all abortions in the U.S. in 2023, the last year for which statistics are available.<\/p>
