The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) will ask the Supreme Court to halt restrictions on the sale of the abortion pill mifepristone, shortly after a decision by an appeals court that narrowed an earlier ruling that would have revoked the pill’s approval for use.However, that appeals court nevertheless imposed numerous restrictions on mifepristone’s availability, blocking it from being mailed or distributed to patients between seven to 10 weeks of pregnancy, as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has allowed in recent years.US Attorney General Merrick Garland stated on Thursday that the DOJ would seek emergency relief from the Supreme Court as the Biden administration tries to defend abortion pill access.
