Breaking news: The Supreme Court on Friday temporarily restored full access to a key abortion medication, putting on hold a lower court’s decision suspending government approval of the pill used in more than half of all abortions in the United States.
Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. granted the government’s request for a stay, and asked for additional briefing by next Wednesday.
Those restrictions will take effect at 1 a.m. Saturday, the government said, if the court does not immediately put the ruling on hold while litigation continues. Prelogar said the Supreme Court could also quickly schedule full briefing and oral argument to review the case before the court’s summer recess.
She noted:"Public health authorities around the world have likewise approved mifepristone, and the World Health Organization has included it on a list of ‘Essential Medicines.’ ”
