Supreme Court Case on Mifepristone Accessibility
The Supreme Court heard arguments about the accessibility of Mifepristone used in medication abortions. The case started in 2022 after Roe v. Wade was overturned. The Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, an anti-abortion group, sued the FDA, challenging the drug's approval process and increased accessibility since 2016. The case questions the rights of the group to sue the FDA and the FDA's decisions on Mifepristone accessibility.
