   Since #SCOTUS eliminated the #right to #abortion in 2022, #medications to terminate pregnancy have increased in importance & become a major target of #litigation, in part because the pills can be sent by mail including to states that have severely limited or banned #abortions.
   The justices were reviewing a decision from #conservative #5thCircuit that said the #FDA failed to follow proper procedures or explain its reasoning when it loosened #regulations for obtaining #mifepristone in 2016 & 2021.

     In a #unanimous ruling, #SCOTUS sided w/the #Biden admin & the manufacturer of #mifepristone, & reversed a lower court decision that would have made it more difficult to obtain the drug used in >60% of #US #abortions. The ruling was not on the substance of the case, but on a procedural ruling the plaintiffs did not have #standing to bring the case.

     #SCOTUS retains full #access to key #AbortionMedication #mifepristone

     The #SupremeCourt on Thurs refused to limit access to a widely used #abortion #medication, rejecting a challenge from #antiabortion doctors 2 years after the court’s #conservative majority overturned #RoeVWade on procedural grounds.
