The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday allowed full access to the abortion pill mifepristone, resolving for now a conflict over the drug while the underlying lawsuit is decided, the Tennessean reports. The decision halted restrictions on access to mifepristone that had been put in place by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit and would have taken effect at midnight Friday. The case, an appeal of U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s decision invalidating FDA approval for the drug, is now expected to move through the normal appeal process.
