Supreme Court Upholds Availability of Abortion Pill

The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled unanimously to uphold the availability of the abortion pill mifepristone, rejecting proposed restrictions. Despite this ruling, Mississippi and 13 other states maintain near-total bans on abortion, making most abortions illegal there. The Court's decision was based on a legal technicality regarding standing to challenge FDA regulations on mifepristone, which some argue poses risks, as about 60% of abortions involve these pills. The ruling did not address FDA's authority over these regulations but highlighted the contentious issue of reproductive rights and abortion laws in the U.S.
