Supreme Court upholds access to mifepristone abortion pill in unanimous decision

The Supreme Court in a unanimous decision Thursday ruled that a group of anti-abortion doctors does not have any legal basis to challenge access to mifepristone, one of the two common drugs used in medication abortion. 

As a result, access to mifepristone won’t change.  

The opinion, written by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, sided with the Biden administration and Danco, the manufacturer of the branded version of mifepristone. It reversed a lower court decision that would have made it more difficult to obtain the drug, which is used in about two-thirds of U.S. abortions.
