Supreme Court Mifepristone Oral Arguments: Live Updates On Abortion Pill Hearing

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Tuesday over access to mifepristone, a medication commonly used to induce abortions, in a case that has major implications for abortion access across the United States.

In FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, the high court will hear from anti-abortion advocates who argue that mifepristone, which was used in combination with misoprostol in 63% of abortions in the U.S. last year, is too easy to access. If the Supreme Court agrees, medicated abortions could become much harder to obtain. The case also has important implications for miscarriage care, as the drug is frequently used to manage pregnancy loss without additional medical procedures.

The hearing comes less than two years after the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, the most significant rollback of abortion rights in a generation.
