Washington — Justice Samuel Alito on Monday temporarily halted an appellate court order that blocked a Food and Drug Administration rule allowing the abortion pill mifepristone to be prescribed online and dispensed through the mail.
Alito granted temporary relief to the maker of mifepristone, Danco Laboratories, and the manufacturer of a generic version of the drug, GenBioPro. His administrative stay will remain in place until 5 p.m. on May 11. The move gives the Supreme Court more time to consider the drug companies' requests to set aside the appellate court's order while litigation proceeds.
Danco and GenBioPro also asked the high court to take up the case and decide the legal merits. Alito set a Thursday deadline for Louisiana officials to respond to the drugmakers' emergency appeals.
The appeals put the issue of mifepristone's availability before the Supreme Court for a second time. Anti-abortion rights groups have sought to restrict access to the widely used abortion pill since the high court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, claiming that the FDA failed to adequately consider the drug's safety and effectiveness when it first approved mifepristone in 2000 and relaxed the rules for its use over the past decade.
In 2024, the high court unanimously rejected a challenge from a group of anti-abortion rights doctors and medical groups that targeted mifepristone's availability, ruling that the plaintiffs did not have the legal right to sue the FDA.

This is an issue which Trump campaigned FOR in 2024.
😠
Mail order murder- the number 1 agenda for a murder obsessed liberal party
And just last year Trump again opposed GOP States looking to ban mail order abortion drugs.

The Antiabortion Movement Is Turning on Trump
The ubiquity of abortion pills during the second Trump administration has frustrated antiabortion advocates

(yes, I know. Consider the source)
All Trump would need to do is say hes doing this because he knows that the vast majority of women who want to kill their babies are leftist, and he thinks they should, thats why he suports it. And overnight all liberal women would become the most pro-life group ever (albeit for the wrong reasons, cant fix their logic process).
One issue Anti Abortion has never supported Trump.
Not a problem. We Won without them.
Hopefully this is just a very temporary bump in the road, but I’m not very hopeful.
States are where these decisions should be made.
Send them to Democrats only.
Why not? The majority of those needing an abortion pill are the women who don’t even know how to get an ID or a drivers license. Whatever makes an abortion easier for them is fine by me
And just like that, if you are pro-life, you are a RINO and should be banned.
The pro-aborts have always had free reign on Free Republic. See post 11 this thread as evidence.
If the SCOTUS only knew with 100% prescience that ALL of the unborn children aborted by the pills would have eventually grown up to be raving radical leftist terrorists like their mothers, then their decision on abortion pills-by-mail might be argued as being justified.
But the SCOTUS doesn't have that assured foreknowledge, so by allowing these murder pills to be distributed by mail, the SCOTUS is a conspirator to first degree murder, if not treason.
We are very close to the end of the United States of America as we knew it from the previous 250 years.
In other words; state law does not exist.
Ugh. That is some Margaret Sanger level eugenics stuff.
