Recent legal rulings on a key drug used in medication abortions may leave many women wondering what it means for them
, the U.S. Supreme Court temporarily extended access to the pill until Friday while justices consider whether to allow some restrictions to take effect.are taking steps to ensure they'll still be able to offer abortion care in the future.
There are no new restrictions on mifepristone at the moment. But there could be in the future in some states, depending on how the Supreme Court and other courts handle the lawsuits. Mifepristone, approved by the FDA in 2000, had been used by more than 5.6 million women in the U.S. as of June 2022, according to the agency. Medical groups say complications occur at a lower rate than with routine medical procedures such as wisdom teeth removal and colonoscopies.
Medication abortions are not available in places where all abortions are banned. Thirteen states effectively ban it at all stages of pregnancy, and one when cardiac activity can be detected. Courts have blocked bans throughout pregnancy in five other states, and one, Georgia, where abortion is forbidden once cardiac activity can be detected.
