Deep dives
Miffa-Pristone: Supreme Court Focuses on Standing in Reproductive Care Case
The Supreme Court is likely to decisively reverse the Fifth Circuit in the Miffa-Pristone cases to protect online access to Miffa-Pristone and keep it available. However, in the M.Tala case, the court is predicted to uphold statutes like Idaho's that restrict medical care to pregnant individuals during emergencies. This ruling may have significant implications for states with stringent abortion bans, leading to unresolved issues even after the Supreme Court's decision.
