California Voice: The Supreme Court did the right thing on mifepristone

The same Supreme Court that overruled Roe v. Wade two years ago followed well-established constitutional principles earlier this month to dismiss a lawsuit that sought to restrict the availability of mifepristone, a drug used to medically induce abortions.

The bottom line is that the decision upholds the Food and Drug Administration’s rules for mifepristone. This is crucial for reproductive rights; it is estimated that 63% of all U.S. abortions are now medically induced rather than being performed surgically.
