All eyes are on the Supreme Court as it could say at any moment how it will handle a blockbuster medication abortion case that landed on its doorstep late last week. Here's what to watch for today.
The Supreme Court is deciding whether to let lower court rulings that would restrict access to a medication abortion drug go into effect. Justice Samuel Alito, who oversees emergency disputes in the region from where the lawsuit arises, has paused those rulings until 11:59 p.m. ET Wednesday. The case is a challenge to the US Food and Drug Administration’s approach to regulating mifepristone, the first drug in the two-pill regimen used to terminate pregnancies in medication abortions.
Those actions include 2016 changes to mifepristone’s instructions that extended the window of use from seven to 10 weeks into the pregnancy, that reduced the number of in-person clinic visits required under the regimen from three to one, and that allowed non-doctors to administer the drug.
