Doctors and abortion rights supporters at a rally outside the Supreme Court on April 24, 2024, as the Court hears oral arguments onto decide if the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act to supersedes an Idaho state law that criminalizes most abortions.
“This outrageous ruling clearly demonstrates that Texas’s ‘medical exceptions’ to its extreme abortion bans just don’t work,” said Molly Duane, senior staff attorney at the Center. “This ruling means that pregnant Texans will continue to suffer because they can’t access the medical care they desperately need.”
What’s more, we are witnessing a new line of attack against abortion pills, or mifepristone, a proven, safe method of medication abortion that is used in over half of abortions performed in the U.S. today. In Louisiana last week, Gov. Jeff Landry signed a bill that will reclassify mifepristone, along with misoprostol as controlled substances. The mere possession of abortion pills without a prescription in the state could result in up to five years in prison.
