The drug company Danco Laboratories has asked the Supreme Court to review the case challenging the legality of the abortion pill mifepristone.
Danco's request comes in response to a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit that would impose major restrictions on how the medication is used and distributed to patients. The appeals court ruling is on hold until the Supreme Court makes a decision about the case. The high court, in April, pressed pause on lower court decisions as litigation about the pill proceeds in response to a request from the Biden administration.
A three-judge panel at the 5th Circuit ruled that decisions the Food and Drug Administration took in recent years to make mifepristone more accessible to women failed to address safety concerns.Should the Supreme Court take the case and uphold the appeals court decision, mifepristone will remain on the market in the U.S. but patients will face more barriers to accessing the medication.
