The Supreme Court of USA decided this Friday to block restrictions on the abortion pill mifepristone that an appeals court had ordered last week. The decision means leaving the status quo on access to medication unchanged, at least while the appeals court decides on the legality of the approval that US regulators gave the drug more than 20 years ago.
The court of appeals in question – that of the Fifth Circuit, which includes the states of Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi – approved restricting access to mifepristone while assessing a Texas judge’s decision to ban access to the pill entirelywhich is used in more than half of the abortions in the country.
