At issue is the legality of allowing mifepristone by mail, no doctor visits.
People protest in response to the Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization ruling in front of the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington. D.C., June 24, 2022.on Tuesday as they hear arguments over whether the Food and Drug Administration lawfully relaxed restrictions to make it easier to access the drug to end a pregnancy.
Prior to 2016, mifepristone could be prescribed only by a physician and dispensed in-person at a medical facility, up to seven weeks of pregnancy. Three in-person doctor office visits were required. The administration also argues that members of the anti-abortion Alliance -- which do not prescribe mifepristone -- are not directly harmed by the FDA regulations and lack standing to challenge them in court.
Legal experts say the case -- the first time a court has second-guessed an FDA drug approval -- could have sweeping implications far beyond abortion.
