US Supreme Court Justice Alito has temporarily put a lower court order imposing curbs on the distribution of the abortion drug mifepristone on hold. Here's what happens next
on the distribution of the abortion drug mifepristone on hold through next Wednesday as the high court considers a request by the Biden administration to block the restrictions.
At least through Wednesday, there will be no new restrictions on mifepristone. Both the Biden administration and the drug's maker, Danco Laboratories, have said if the Supreme Court allows the restrictions to take effect, mifepristone could be unavailable for months while the company changes its label and distribution system to comply.
The Biden administration said in its petition to the Supreme Court that the FDA cannot comply with both orders., potentially allowing it to preserve less restricted access to the drug at least while the case is proceeding. However, the agency has so far given no indication that it is considering that step.Whichever way the Supreme Court rules, it will send the case back to the 5th Circuit, where the FDA will pursue a full appeal of Kacsmaryk's preliminary injunction.
