The United States Supreme Court has ruled to block lower-court rulings that would place restrictions on the pill mifepristone, one of the medications used in half of all abortions in the country, while litigation proceeds.The decision comes in the wake of an appeal by the US Justice Department and the pill’s manufacturer Danco Laboratories.US District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk had granted a request from anti-abortion plaintiffs on April 7 to temporarily suspend mifepristone’s approval while he weighed a case over whether the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) erred in authorising the medication more than two decades ago.
