Editorial: The New York Times

• The Supreme Court unanimously rejected a challenge against mifepristone, the most commonly used abortion pill, on procedural grounds.
• The case was brought by a group of associations and doctors who oppose abortion and argue that mifepristone is unsafe.
• The case was tossed because the plaintiffs could not show that they had personally suffered harm from the F.D.A.'s approval of mifepristone.
• The challengers sought to offset the vast amount of evidence in favor of mifepristone, presenting a few recent studies reportedly showing that the use of mifepristone has led to more emergency-room visits and complications.
• Republican lawmakers in Congress and the states are working to impose certain people’s religious values over most people’s fundamental rights.

Conclusion: If you care about a woman’s right to control what happens in her own body, you should be very concerned about the next mifepristone case that reaches the Supreme Court.
