Supreme Court Considers Abortion Pill Challenge

Supreme Court Considers Abortion Pill Challenge


“Two years after the Supreme Court erased the constitutional right to an abortion, creating a patchwork of access across the country, the justices could now pave the way toward a national ban,” USA Today reports.

“In a case they will consider Tuesday about access to the abortion drug mifepristone, the court could give legitimacy to a nineteenth century obscenity law that some abortion opponents are promoting as a de facto federal abortion ban that just needs enforcing.”

“Even if the court decides the case without addressing the 1873 Comstock Act − which it could easily do − the justices could restrict access to mifepristone in a way that would make it more difficult for millions of women to end a pregnancy in states where abortion is legal.”

Wall Street Journal: “At issue in Tuesday’s case is whether the Food and Drug Administration acted reasonably in adopting rules that have made it easier to obtain mifepristone since 2016… In some ways, the abortion-pill case has the potential to affect a greater number of women than Dobbs.”
