The US Supreme Court unanimously upholds broad access to mifepristone in abortion cases, rejecting a challenge to its accessibility.

The US Supreme Court has unanimously upheld broad access to mifepristone, a medication used in most abortions in the country, dismissing a challenge to its accessibility. The court stated that those who brought the case did not have legal grounds, as they could not demonstrate how they were harmed by the drug's availability. This decision is a victory for abortion access supporters, as the pill will continue to be widely available. While the court did not outright rule out future possibilities of states challenging the drug's access, anti-abortion activists have vowed to continue pursuing the Food and Drug Administration's approval of mifepristone.
