The U.S. Supreme Court rejected a challenge to the most commonly used abortion drug, mifepristone, but only on procedural grounds, not considering the merits of the lawsuit.
Despite mifepristone being effective and safe, abortion opponents keep pushing for its ban.
The Court stated that doctors opposing abortion don't have the grounds to challenge FDA's approval of the drug just because they disagree with it.
Despite the support that the majority of Americans have for decades shown towards abortion rights, anti-abortion lawmakers keep finding ways to subvert this voice.
Access to the abortion pill is preserved for the time being, but this is a narrow procedural win for reproductive rights.
Conclusion: If one values a woman's right to control what happens in her own body, it's time to worry about another challenge to mifepristone that might reach the Supreme Court.
