Supreme Court tosses out conservative Christian's group attack on the most common method of abortion.

The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed a conservative Christian's group claim that the abortion medication used by more than 5 million American women is unsafe and should be withdrawn from the market. In a 9-0 decision, the justices said these anti-abortion activists had no standing to sue. And they said conservative judges in Texas had no grounds for overturning the Food and Drug Administration's regulations that allow for the pills to be delivered by mail.

The Guttmacher Institute reported that abortion medication was used in 63% of U.S. abortions last year. Today's decision does not change the law in states where abortions are illegal. Shortly after the Supreme Court repealed the right to abortion in the Dobbs case, the Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian group, filed a lawsuit in Amarillo, Texas seeking the repeal of the FDA's approval of mifepristone.
