Supreme Court\'s Role in Abortion Pill Regulations

Published: 25 March 2024 at 10:21

The Supreme Court, with a conservative majority, has the power to influence access to the abortion pill, mifepristone. Recent regulations expanded access, allowing telemedicine prescriptions and use up to 10 weeks of pregnancy. A federal judge in Texas temporarily suspended the FDA\'s approval of mifepristone post the overturning of Roe v Wade. The pill is safer than some common drugs and has lower complication risks than alternatives. The Supreme Court\'s upcoming ruling will impact millions of women in the US and may have implications for the 2024 presidential race.
