SCOTUS knew if they denied access to the pill, Republicans would NEVER win another federal election. They are corrupt, not stupid.
Supreme Court Upholds Access to Abortion Pill in Unanimous Vote | WIRED
The Supreme Court just handed down its most important ruling on reproductive rights since its 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision that protected the national right to have an abortion. The court today affirmed the US Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the abortion pill mifepristone. In a 9–0 decision in FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, the justices found that the plaintiffs of a lawsuit that sought to pull the drug off the market lacked standing—that is, they did not have the right to bring the case to court. “The plaintiffs do not prescribe or use mifepristone. And FDA does not require them to do or refrain from doing anything. Rather, the plaintiffs want FDA to make mifepristone more difficult for other doctors to prescribe and for pregnant women to obtain,” Justice Brett Kavanaugh writes in the decision. “A plaintiff’s desire to make a drug less available for others does not establish standing to sue. Nor do the plaintiffs’ other standing theories suffice. Therefore, the plaintiffs lack standing to challenge FDA’s actions.”
