The U.S. Supreme Court, which in 2022 ended its recognition of a constitutional right to abortion, on Wednesday agreed to hear a bid by President Joe Biden's administration to preserve broad access to the abortion pill, setting up another major ruling on reproductive rights set to come in a presidential election year.
Mifepristone is taken with another drug called misoprostol to perform medication abortion, which accounts for more than half of all U.S. abortions. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which gave regulatory approval to mifepristone in 2000, has called the drug safe and effective as demonstrated over its decades of use by millions of American women, with adverse effects on them exceedingly rare.
Besides medication abortion, mifepristone has other uses including management of miscarriages.

Another step toward Christian fascism, courtesy of the Republican Party.
@L3ftWingBennyRepublican5mos5MO
Is it Islamic fascism that keeps the middle eastern countries from allowing abortions, or any country for that matter.
@HumbleS0cialJustic3Green5mos5MO
Supreme Court will rule in favor of allowing it. Mark my words.
@Equ4lRightsSnailRepublican5mos5MO
I think you might be right. I get the feeling they know they went too far. If they don’t allow it, the republicans can write off the next election.
@NightingaleNickSocialist5mos5MO
The GOP seems to like slamming their hand in the car door, even after KS, KY OH. This will not only throw some purple into red state Texas, but in every other red state where women choose to reject a “man” determining health.
@OctopusTonyLibertarian5mos5MO
Next up, access to birth control. There seems to be no end to people minding other people’s business. Maybe they should legislate access to Viagra, for instance to reduce unwanted pregnancies. If men could have babies, they would allow none of this nosiness. Just saying.
@MadE1ectionConstitution5mos5MO
Insidious in its indifference. SCOTUS's Dobbs decision believes its legal conclusions holds no malice on the merits. Collateral consequences weren't even a thought. Consequences to citizenry be damned. Justice Thomas & ilk just don’t give a damn. Not one.
@PoliticalRaccoonDemocrat5mos5MO
This is democracy, they are leaving this decision to the states, that’s a good thing, we are the United States of America, there are plenty of states that will allow it, take a little trip and yank that puppy out.
@9HM296Y5mos5MO
The person should have access to abortion, not the government.
@BobolinkHannahRepublican5mos5MO
You know who won't get to decide?
The over 600,000 baby girls and boys aborted each year in America...
Not one could be reached for comment.
@D3mocratBasmatiGreen5mos5MO
Because they are not boys and girls. They are non viable outside womb fetal tissue.
The pill is for 8 weeks or less pregnancy.
All 600,000 unwanted forced births are staying at your place?
@BobolinkHannahRepublican5mos5MO
Tell me when in the History of the Planet, that a Zygote(a fertilized human egg) when allowed to come to full term became ANYTHING other than a Human boy or girl...
Not a Dolphin, Not a Kitty Cat, not a Magnolia Tree, but a Human being...
I'll wait.

I think they should be allowing women to have the choice if they want to get an abortion or not.
@9HLZHKDPeace and Freedom5mos5MO
It should be the women’s choice on what to do with what they carry inside them
@9HLYYGB5mos5MO
American news is more important in American than foreign news.
@9HM5NHNLibertarian5mos5MO
No supreme court has the right to tell women what to do with their bodies.
@9HM4YSZ5mos5MO
All abortions, whether for the benefit of the mother or not, are inhumane
The government should help to provide abortion pills to prevent risky and dangerous abortions done improperly which will lead to more unsolved health issues.
@9HM4TRD5mos5MO
This is what will effect my life.
Abortion should be allowed to all. Everyone has a right to choose what they do with their body.
@9HM3CKK5mos5MO
I think we shouldn't have banned abortions in the first place considering rape, teen pregnancies, and unfit situations to raise children.
@V0lunteerLillianRepublican5mos5MO
And the abortion pill injures women...
OBGYN Says Abortion Pill Injures 20% of Women Who Take it, Some Women Have Died
@9HMGRB95mos5MO
supreme court old white men. idiots.
Abortion rights should be a constitutional right, no one should be forced to have a child if they don't want to.
@9HMGN5K5mos5MO
abortion pill should be accessible to every women
@9HMGFJB5mos5MO
The Supreme Court, and the government, shouldn't get involved in a person's medical care, unless the medical care is grossly negligent.
@9HMFY685mos5MO
because i feel some kids aren't ready but then again, it's a baby dying i wouldn't wanna be aborted juist saying.
@9HMFVQB5mos5MO
the abortion pills should be a womens choice
@9HM6R99Republican 5mos5MO
I hope the SCOTUS assigns power to the States to regulate the abortion pill consistent with state law.
@9HMDW2M5mos5MO
it shouldn't be up the congress to decide that for all women
@9HMDB2B5mos5MO
I think it is wrong for them to deny something like that.
Abortions is healthcare no matter how you see it. If a fetus is going to kill a women then there should be abortions easy access.
@9HMBW5X5mos5MO
Abortions should be available for everyone and anyone
@9HMB7VR5mos5MO
Everyone should have access to an abortion because everyone's situation is different. We can't mak an executive decision about this because there are always minorities who get left out.
my body my choice, if you want me to keep the current clump of cells then make living more affordable
@9HM9F2TRepublican5mos5MO
Abortion should only be legal if the mothers life is at risk
@9HM92K6Peace and Freedom5mos5MO
it'll give access to young people and people that's been Sexually assaulted
@9HM8WZQ5mos5MO
leads to fututre demographics/culture of the nation
@9HM8RCY5mos5MO
I think there shouldn't be a abortion pill that everyone has access to because that is a easy way to kill a living thing when it didn't have a chance at life.
@9HM78G95mos5MO
Bad stuff. Good if its for prevention not killing.
@9HM6LK45mos5MO
I think that if it is the right option for someone, they should be able to have access to that
@9HM67R4Libertarian5mos5MO
Abortion should be treated like other medical procedures, and access to it should depend solely on the decisions of a states board of medicine. While I believe that drug use should be legalized, or at least decriminalized, states should ultimately have jurisdiction over drugs a person is legally allowed to possess. This is as true for heroin as it is for abortion pills.
@9HM6DNJ5mos5MO
Women should be allowed bodily autonomy, which includes the right to terminate a pregnancy in the way agreed upon between her and her doctor
@WingedBuckConstitution5mos5MO
More election interference via lawfare.
Can we just stop with all these cases that conveniently coincide with certain candidates and elections?
