'The View' praises Supreme Court for abortion pill ruling days after blasting justices: 'Does restore…faith'

"The View" co-hosts offered rare praise for the Supreme Court on Thursday after it ruled unanimously against a challenge to the abortion pill.

"It’s nice to hear good news about the Supreme Court for a change," co-host Joy Behar said.

"It does restore a little bit of my faith in the court," fellow co-host Sunny Hostin confessed. "Because the legal standard is, do you have standing to bring a case? Can anybody bring a case in front of the Supreme Court? No. You have to prove that you have injuries resulting from it and so you’ve got a group of doctors and a group of citizens and all of these people bring this challenge to the FDA and say, we don’t want this pill."

Thursday, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled against a challenge to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) regulatory approval process of the abortion drug mifepristone, saying the plaintiffs lacked standing to sue the government.

Hostin praised Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Thomas for following "black-letter law" by agreeing that the challengers lacked standing. However, she was still concerned about abortion rights still being largely decided by the states.

Co-host Sara Haines agreed with Hostin that it was a "reminder and an example" of how we should have "faith in the process."

"We focus so much on the hot topics, on the results, rather than the legal reasoning and always call the judges conservative or liberal. It’s about the interpretation of the law, so reminding ourselves to have faith in this judicial [system], especially the Supreme Court, because it’s easy to attack them like regular politicians, but we need to remain faithful in our institutions.
