Supreme Court Agrees to Hear High-Stakes Abortion Pill CaseKatherine Hamilton 13 Dec 2023
The Supreme Court announced Wednesday that it has decided to hear a case about the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rolling back safety restrictions around mifepristone, the first drug used in a two-drug medication abortion regimen.
In September, both President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) and Danco Laboratories LLC, which distributes mifepristone under the brand name Mifeprex, asked the Supreme Court to reverse a lower court decision halting two FDA actions that loosened restrictions around the abortion pill. The Supreme Court ultimately granted a hearing to both cases, consolidating them into one with a total of one hour allotted for oral argument.
“This Administration will continue to stand by FDA’s independent approval and regulation of mifepristone as safe and effective. As the Department of Justice continues defending the FDA’s actions before the Supreme Court, President Biden and Vice President Harris remain firmly committed to defending women’s ability to access reproductive care,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre said in response. ” We continue to urge Congress to pass a law restoring the protections of Roe v. Wade — the only way to ensure the right to choose for women in every state.”
