Unanimous Supreme Court preserves access to widely used abortion medicationBy MARK SHERMAN Associated PressWASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Thursday unani

FILE - Boxes of the drug mifepristone sit on a shelf at the West Alabama Women's Center in Tuscaloosa, Ala., on March 16, 2022. Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry has signed a first-of-its-kind bill Friday, May 24, classifying two abortion-inducing drugs, mifepristone and misoprostol, as controlled and dangerous substances.

The case had threatened to restrict access to mifepristone across the country, including in states where abortion remains legal. Health care providers have said that if mifepristone is no longer available or is too hard to obtain, they would switch to using only misoprostol, which is somewhat less effective in ending pregnancies.
