Will the US Supreme Court deal another blow to abortion access? | The World | ABC NEWS
A US Supreme Court ruling that temporarily reinstated nationwide access to a widely used abortion pill is about to expire. On May 1st, a federal appeals court made a ruling that rolled back telemedicine access to mifepristone; a drug that could be prescribed by a doctor over the phone and sent through the mail. The Supreme Court later decided to restore access while litigation continues, leaving its future usage up in the air. Julie F.
