WASHINGTON (OSV News) — A majority of Americans say the abortion drug mifepristone should remain on the market in the U.S., according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll, as the drug remains at the center of an ongoing legal battle.

The poll found that 66% of U.S. adults said mifepristone should remain on the market, while 24% said it should be taken off. Just under half — 47% — said access to mifepristone should remain status quo; while 12% say it should remain on the market but with additional restrictions in place, while 11% offered no opinion.

The U.S. Supreme Court said April 21 it would block a lower court’s restrictions on an abortion pill, leaving the drug on the market while litigation over the drug proceeds. The high court froze a lower court’s ruling to stay the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the drug. The Justice Department and Danco Laboratories, a pharmaceutical company that manufactures the abortion pill mifepristone, previously asked the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene in the case after an appeals court allowed portions of an earlier ruling by U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk in Texas to take eff

Because “it’s only killing a bunch of cells”.

As an equine veterinarian, I routinely pinch twins when discovered by ultrasound exam at 17 days post-ovulation. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind, nor my clients and their expectation, that i am in fact crushing a fetal vesicle and killing an undesired twin catastrophe. Killing.

Pills for women make it “guilt-free”.

There was a news report this week that now you can by OTC daily birth control pills. Not ideal, but still better than killing a baby.

Abortion was a winner issue for Democrats in last mid-terms.
The red wave fizzled.

The people taking the poll likely thought the pill in question was the “morning after” pill. It is not.

"A majority of Americans say the abortion drug mifepristone should remain on the market in the U.S.,"

Must be the same "81 million" people that "voted" for Biden.

Depends on how the question is framed:
Q: About half of abortions in this country are induced by taking a prescription drug pill called mifepristone. Do you think mifepristone should remain on the market in the United States or should be taken off the market?
Most U.S. adults say the abortion pill mifepristone should stay on the market, Post-ABC poll finds
The twenty-four percent who responded in the negative were the only ones who understood the question.

Heh, (com)Post, I've got a better way to "frame" your push poll:
Q: : About half the babies murdered in the womb in this country are executed by by taking a poison called "mifepristone." Do you think this Nazi poison should remain on the market in the United States or should be taken off the market?
See what you get now, liars.

I do not read liberal rags. As a career engineer, I rely on actual results more. The expected red wave fizzled because young women (who normally do not vote in large numbers) came out of the woodwork to vote democrat, after seeing news of republican senator proposed a bill to ban all abortions after certain number of weeks.

The pills are fertility saving treatment for tubal pregnancies and as such should remain legal for use in that situation. But only iin those narrow circumstances
