The U.S. Supreme Court's action Friday regarding a key drug used in medication abortions may leave many women wondering: What does this mean for me?
On Friday, the court preserved access to mifepristone, which is used in the most common form of abortion in the U.S., by rejecting lower-court restrictions while a lawsuit continues.The court's action stands to leave access to mifepristone unchanged at least into next year, as appeals play out. Meanwhile, doctors, clinics and telehealth providers are taking steps to ensure they'll still be able to offer abortion care in the future.
"The language in the opinion that was used is very, very disturbing," said Texas OB-GYN Dr. Ghazaleh Moayedi. "Mifepristone is one of the most studied medications prescribed in the U.S. and has a safety profile comparable to ibuprofen," they wrote.
