The Supreme Court has temporarily reinstated mail and pharmacy access to a widely used abortion drug after a conservative federal appeals court abruptly cut off access last week, posing what advocates are calling the biggest threat to abortion care since Roe v Wade was overturned.
If the appeals court order is allowed to stand, patients across the country would be forced to travel to a health center to pick up a mifepristone pill in person — a journey that could be hundreds of miles for people living in states where abortion is banned.
