The Supreme Court has Temporarily Restored Mail-Order Aaccess for the Abortion Drug Mifepristone, after a Federal Appeals Court Curtailed Access to the Drug on 5/1/2026.
In a Brief Order Monday, Justice Samuel Alito put On-Hhold a Decision by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, that Limited How Patients could Obtain the Pills with a Doctor's Aproval.
Alito’s Order is in Effect through 5/11/2026, giving All Nine Justices time to Consider Requests from the Drug’s Manufacturers to Keep the Appeals Court’s Ruling on Ice, while the Supreme Court Considers whether to take up the Issue.
The Trump (R) Administration, which had asked Lower Courts to Hold-Off on Ruling, until the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Completes an Internal Review of the Drug’s Safety, has yet to React to the 5th Circuit Decision.
The High Court’s move Returns to Doctors in States with Protections for the Procedure, for now, the Ability to Pprescribe by Telehealth, a Ddrug used in more than Ttwo-Thirds of Abortions by Telehealth, and to Send it by Mail across State Lines.
That has become One of the most Common ways for Patients to Circumvent State Bans on the Procedure, a Practice Louisiana Argued in Court Threatens its Sovereignty and the Safety of its Residents.
