Supreme Court Unanimously Upholds Access to Abortion Medication
The Supreme Court made a unanimous decision to reject a challenge regarding the prescription and dispensing of the abortion medication, mifepristone. Justice Kavanaugh's decision highlighted that the plaintiffs lacked standing as they had not suffered any injury related to the medication. The court emphasized the need for a personal stake or a physical/economic injury to bring a case to court. This ruling sidestepped the abortion issue itself, focusing on legal rights to sue based on standing.
