“Abortion is back before the Supreme Court just 10 months after conservative justices said they were washing their hands of the issue,” Politico reports.
“The court is expected to rule by Wednesday on whether to allow an earlier decision from the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to take effect, sharply limiting access to a commonly used abortion pill nationwide. The lower court ruling, which the Biden administration wants paused while the legal battle plays out, would prohibit telemedicine prescriptions, mail delivery and retail pharmacy dispensing of the drug.”
“The case now before the court undercuts one of the core arguments justices made when they overturned Roe v. Wade in June: that it’s not appropriate for ‘unelected members of this Court’ to ‘override the democratic process’ and set national abortion policy.”
