The Supreme Court's Decision to Restrict Abortion Medication

Tom Coburn: Ignoring this ruling would not prevent states from prosecuting people, potentially, or imposing their own restrictions. Coburn: The ideal outcome obviously would be the Supreme Court overturning the ruling because then it avoids the problems that Tommy was just talking about where Republican controlled states impose their own restrictions and a future Republican president reverse the decision like that all goes out the window if we want an appeal. If we lose at the Supreme Court, then perhaps the administration can say, okay, the FDA has discretion authority here and it's going to do its own thing," Coburn said.
