What comes next after the Supreme Court blocked – for now – restrictions on abortion pills
The Supreme Court’s brief, unsigned order came in an emergency dispute over lower court rulings that would have curtailed access to the drug, mifepristone. At the request of the Justice Department and a mifepristone manufacter, the high court placed a hold – known as a stay – on the lower court rulings while the appeals process plays out. Only Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito publicly indicated their dissent from the Supreme Court’s move.
Those limits would have shortened the gestational period that the drug is available, and would have required patients to obtain the drugs in-person from their provider and make two other clinical visits as part of the protocol. What comes next in the case? There is much still to play out in the litigation and Friday’s Supreme Court order is unlikely to be the justices’ final word on the FDA’s approach to regulating the drug.
