The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled to keep the abortion pill mifepristone on the market, rejecting a lawsuit by doctors who sued the FDA.Studies show about two-thirds of abortions in the U.S. last year involved mifepristone. Challengers claimed the FDA's approval process was improper and should be revoked.The Supreme Court unanimously found that the doctors trying to reduce access to the pill failed to show they had suffered any injury and lacked sufficient legal basis for their lawsuit.
"Had the court ruled differently, the impact would have been significant, potentially removing the ability for people to get mifepristone by mail and forcing some to travel hundreds of miles."The Thomas More Society, a nonprofit conservative law firm based in Chicago, issued a strong stance against the ruling."We believe the abortion pill is chemical warfare against the unborn," said Thomas Olp, executive vice president.
