The US Supreme Court upholds access to an abortion drug in the US. In its decision on Friday evening (local time), the Supreme Court rejected restrictions as long as the legal dispute over the abortion pill mifepristone continues. Mifepristone was approved in the US in 2000 and is commonly used with the drug misoprostol for pregnancy termination.
Abortion opponents have sued in the US state of Texas against the approval of mifepristone – they want to make access to medical abortion more difficult. A judge agreed with them – the US administration of Democratic President Joe Biden took action against the decision.
