Supreme Court to Rule on Access to Key Abortion Pill

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : The recent changes in question included regulations that allowed the drug to be taken later in pregnancy, to be mailed directly to patients, and to be prescribed by a medical professional other than a doctor.
52% : The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, based in New Orleans, upheld a portion of a federal judge's ruling this spring that said the Food and Drug Administration didn't follow proper procedures when it began loosening regulations for obtaining mifepristone, which has been on the market for two decades since its approval.
45% : That increase in access to mifepristone irked anti-abortion rights doctors in the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, who demanded that the pill be taken off the market entirely in a lawsuit filed in Amarillo, Texas, where the sitting federal judge is Matthew J. Kacsmaryk -- a Donald Trump appointee who has long opposed abortion rights.
