BREAKING: The Supreme Court says it will temporarily keep in place federal rules for use of an abortion drug while it takes time to fully consider the issues raised in a court challenge.
President Joe Biden's administration and New York-based Danco Laboratories, the maker of the pill, asked the justices to intervene.
The Biden administration and Danco now want a more lasting order that would keep the current rules in place as long as the legal fight over mifepristone continues. As a fallback, they asked the court to take up the issue, hear arguments and decide by early summer a legal challenge to mifepristone that anti-abortion doctors and medical organizations filed last year.
Attorney General Merrick Garland said Thursday that the 5th circuit did not go far enough to “protect Americans’ access to safe and effective reproductive care.” ADF attorneys said Thursday they did not plan to seek an appeal that might restore the Texas court’s full ruling at this point, signaling they were content with appellate outcome.
