The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments over the access for a common abortion pill, which could change the tone of the November election.
The cases before the high court on Tuesday challenge the Food and Drug Administration‘s actions to expand the accessibility of mifepristone, including making the pill available via online order or mail delivery.
The court is likely to issue its decision in the case in June on whether to keep the original restrictions on the pill or allow the loosening of restrictions the FDA made in 2016. The restrictions would be federal, meaning they would apply nationwide rather than state by state.“Going into the summer with a negative ruling by Trump’s Supreme Court essentially, I think, would turn the tide even more in stronger favor for the Biden-Harris administration,” Johnson said.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have made abortion a key part of their reelection pitch, and a ruling favoring the group of religious doctors who oppose chemical abortions could give Democrats additional fuel.Abortion measures could make their way to the ballot in several states in November, including Montana and Florida, which could affect races in those states.
A ruling in the case before the Supreme Court could have national implications and offer a lifeline to Biden, who has been trailing former President Donald Trump in various key swing states. Biden and Harris will be in North Carolina as the Supreme Court is set to hear arguments in the case.
