Supreme Court's Abortion Case & FDA's Regulations on Mifepristone

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a significant abortion rights case concerning the availability of Mifepristone, a drug used in medication abortions. FDA regulations were discussed which expanded access to Mifepristone by allowing nurse practitioners and physician assistants to prescribe it, extended its usage period, and removed the in-person pick-up requirement. These changes facilitated telemedicine prescriptions and increased medication abortion accessibility across the US.
