Supreme Court Preserves Access to Abortion Pill Mifepristone in 9-0 Decision
Jun 17, 2024, 10:10 AM
The U.S. Supreme Court has unanimously ruled to preserve access to the abortion pill mifepristone in a 9-0 decision, rejecting a lawsuit that challenged its FDA approval. This decision marks the first major abortion-related ruling since the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022. The ruling was seen as a significant victory for reproductive rights advocates, but it also highlighted ongoing legal battles over abortion access. The court's decision, however, does not end the fight, as mifepristone may still face future legal challenges. Additionally, Senate Republicans recently blocked a bill to protect nationwide access to in vitro fertilization (IVF), sparking further debate over reproductive rights. The political landscape continues to be contentious, with Democrats advocating for broader reproductive freedoms while Republicans push for more restrictive measures.
