Live updates: Supreme Court hears mifepristone abortion pill arguments
What to know about today's hearing
The Supreme Court is hearing a challenge to the Food and Drug Administration's decisions over the past several years to increase access to mifepristone, a drug used in medication abortions, including making it available by mail.
A Texas-based U.S. district judge invalidated the FDA's approval of the pill last year, but an appeals court narrowed the decision to include only actions the agency took since 2016. Because the Supreme Court is not reviewing the FDA's initial approval of the drug, it will remain available in some form.
Fourteen states completely ban abortion, including medication abortion, according to the Guttmacher Institute, while several others prohibit delivering the abortion pill by mail and require patients to see a doctor in person before they can get a prescription for it.
About two-thirds of abortions in the United States were carried about by use of the pill in 2023, the research group says.
