SCOTUS rules abortion pill mifepristone can remain available by mail nationwide

The Supreme Court decided Thursday to allow women to have access to the abortion pill mifepristone through telehealth visits as the issue makes it way through lower courts.

The high court previously placed a pause on an appeals court decision that would block access to the abortion drug amid an ongoing lawsuit, which was set to expire Thursday.

Conservative Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented from the order, which granted emergency requests brought by drugmakers Danco Laboratories and GenBioPro seeking to block the appeals court ruling, per NBC News.

The case involves mifepristone, one of the two drugs used in abortions, and a federal rule from the Food and Drug Administration allowing telehealth prescription of the drug, and its delivery through the mail.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

I don't see the Order on SCOTUS website, but I do see the dissents by Thomas and Alito.

USPS should be abolished. There is no need for us to be subsidizing this or otherwise facilitating it with government.

I would caution anyone thinking of using this drug to consider who and what is providing the active ingredient in it... ie the ChiComs who are are biggest enemy on planet earth. Not safe. But millions will take it anyway, just like they took “the jab”.

“The finished product sold in the U.S. is not necessarily produced domestically. The active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for mifepristone is predominantly sourced from overseas. China has been a primary source for the API since mifepristone’s approval in the early 2000s. Specific Chinese pharmaceutical firms, such as Shanghai Pharmaceutical Group (via its division Shanghai Hualian) and China Resources Zizhu Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd, have been identified as API manufacturers. This reliance on foreign API sources is not unique to mifepristone, with a vast majority of drug ingredients used in the U.S. originating from abroad.”

Thought states had the right to determine what was and wasn’t legal in their state — at least Democrat controlled states seem to.

Thanks.
