US Supreme Court maintains access to abortion pill mifepristone, rejecting challenge by anti-abortion groups.
The US Supreme Court has preserved access to the abortion pill mifepristone, rejecting a challenge by anti-abortion groups and doctors. The justices, who recently ended the recognition of a constitutional right to abortion, ruled that the plaintiffs behind the lawsuit lacked the necessary legal standing to challenge the drug's approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The pill, approved by the FDA in 2000, is used in over 60% of US abortions.
