>This issue falls under the states not the feds.
Abortion would generally be a state issue as the US Constitution, contrary to Roe, is slient on the issue. However one of the attacks on the abortion pills, I’m not sure whether it is this one, does involve a federal issue. An 19th century federal law forbids the use of the US Mail (which use is a Federal issue specifically discussed in the US Constitution) as a delivery mechanism for any abortificient. And Biden administration’s strategy to get around red states blocking abortion services is to deliver the pills via US mail. Congress certainly has the right and power to regulate what goes in US mail, so although it could change the law to allow such it also is permitted to block it. SCOTUS should allow whichever course we choose.

I agree but congress will not do anything, one of the states will ban its use and back to the court it will go
