Guttmacher’s Key Resources on Medication Abortion, as Legal Battle Continues
On April 21, the US Supreme Court issued a stay in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA that, for now, preserves access to medication abortion using mifepristone. The case now returns to the Fifth US Circuit Court of Appeals. While it is critical that the current level of access can continue for the time being, a future unfavorable outcome in this case could still push care further out of reach for many people, in particular marginalized communities, less than a year after the Supreme Court’s radical decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
