The Supreme Court heard 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 heard from an attorney representing 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 came less than two years after the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, the most significant rollback of abortion rights in a generation.

Many of the justices appeared skeptical during oral arguments that the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine had legal standing in the case.

They stand at a far distance from the upstream regulatory action they are challenging, Prelogar said.

She named prescribing physicians or competing drug manufacturers as parties that could potentially have standing not the group of anti-abortion doctors that brought the case.

Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, centers on whether the Food and Drug Administration overlooked health and safety issues when it loosened restrictions around mifepristone, one of the two drugs used in medication abortion, in 2016 and 2021. The FDA approved mifepristone in 2000, and the medication has since been used by nearly 6 million people in the U.S., according to the department.

The ruling could roll back critical access to mifepristone, which is generally prescribed as part of a two-drug regimen alongside misoprostol for abortion and miscarriage care through 10 weeks of pregnancy in the U.S.

If the court sides with abortion opponents, mifepristone could be prohibited from being sent through the mail and distributed at large pharmacy chains, even in states where abortion is legal. A ruling for the anti-choice movement could also restrict the use of mifepristone from its current approval of 10 weeks to seven weeks, and end telehealth visits where abortion pills are prescribed.

The decision is likely to come out sometime in late June.","source":"","title":"What's At Stake For Abortion Access In The Mifepristone Case","type":"image","summary":"","badge":"","cta":[],"meta":null,"credit":"","creditUrl":"","authorship":{"author":{"id":"557703ade4b09499c4202c03","userId":"557703ade4b09499c4202c02","fullName":"Alanna Vagianos","bio":{"text":"Alanna Vagianos (she/her) is a senior national reporter at HuffPost.

Sage cited several undisclosed conflicts of interest by the studies authors their connections to anti-abortion advocacy groups as well issues with the studies that it said demonstrated a lack of scientific rigor.

You can count on Harris to mention oral arguments in the Supreme Court case. You can also count on Harris to talk about why reproductive rights are so important in North Carolina -- and not just because its a key swing state for the 2024 presidential election.

From my article about todays event:

Reproductive rights have been heavily contested in North Carolina, as they have been across the country, since the Supreme Court in 2022 overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that had made access to abortion a federal right. A new state law, enacted after Republicans in the legislature overrode [Democratic Gov. Roy] Coopers veto, has introduced a series of restrictions and bans the procedure under most circumstances after 12 weeks of pregnancy.

In November, abortion rights advocates in the state hope to make gains in the legislature and, no less important, to defeat GOP gubernatorial nominee Mark Robinson, an outspoken right-wing politician who has called abortion a scourge and said he wants to push the limit on abortion to six weeks.
