The Supreme Court has unanimously upheld access to mifepristone, a medication involved in the majority of abortions in the United States, in a significant ruling on Thursday.
Two years after overturning the nationwide right to abortion, the court found anti-abortion doctors lacked the legal standing to challenge the drug.
This decision leaves room for continued opposition from anti-abortion states and activists, potentially leading to more legal disputes. Justice Brett Kavanaugh employed a minimalist approach to achieve unanimous agreement, sidestepping deeper legal questions and political controversies.
