#SCOTUS is temporarily leaving women’s #access to a widely used #AbortionMedication untouched until at least Thursday, while the justices consider whether to allow restrictions on the drug, #mifepristone, to take effect.

Justice Samuel Alito’s order Monday allows #women seeking an #abortion to continue obtaining the pill at pharmacies or through the mail, without an in-person visit to a doctor.

#Republican #ViolenceAgainstWomen

A US appeals court on Friday temporarily blocked a federal rule allowing the #AbortionMedication #mifepristone to be dispensed through the #mail, significantly curtailing #access to the drug #nationwide, particularly in states that banned #abortion.

A 3-judge panel of the ultra-#conservative #5thCircuit ruled ‌unanimously that #Louisiana was likely to prevail in its challenge to the 2023 rule adopted by President #Biden's admin.

Excellent news!

#Abortion will remain #legal in #Wyoming after the state Supreme Court struck down laws that include the country’s first explicit ban on #AbortionMedication, ruling Tuesday that they violate the #state #constitution.

The justices sided with the state’s only abortion clinic & others who had sued over the bans passed since 2022, the year that #SCOTUS overturned the landmark #RoeVWade decision.
