Editorial: On medication abortion, the Supreme Court may actually do the right thing

LA Times  

Abortion-rights activists rally Tuesday outside the Supreme Court. It always seemed farfetched that anti-abortion doctors could argue that they have the right to ask a court to severely restrict a drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration simply because they don’t want to treat women who might experience complications. Last year, U.S. District Court Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk — a staunch opponent of abortion — ruled in favor of the alliance, which wants the drug pulled from the market. For example, if the Supreme Court decides medication abortion should be available only under regulations in effect before 2016, that will end the practice of getting prescriptions through telehealth appointments and the mail. So it’s encouraging to hear skepticism from a justice who voted with the conservative majority when the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade in 2022, returning the matter of abortion to state legislatures.
