What happened: The US Supreme Court allowed access to the abortion pill mifepristone by mail to continue, overturning a federal appeals court ruling that sought to restrict it.
Why it matters:
- Maintains access to medication abortion for people who rely on mail delivery.
- Affects healthcare providers, patients, and regulatory policies around abortion medication.
MNN Take: The decision ensures that current FDA rules permitting mail delivery of mifepristone remain in place, preserving access amid ongoing legal challenges.
