US Supreme Court upholds access to abortion pill

The United States Supreme Court has rejected a bid to curb access to a drug used in abortions, ending an attempt by abortion opponents to limit access to the procedure.

In a 9-0 ruling on Thursday, the justices overturned a lower court’s decision last year to limit access to the drug mifepristone, used in more than half of abortions in the country.

The Food and Drug Administration had taken steps in 2016 and 2021 to ease how the pill is prescribed and distributed.
