MOORHEAD, Minn. — Nearly two years after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, dramatically changing the U.S. landscape for abortion, abortion rights supporters Thursday saw a rare win from a separate high court decision.
In a unanimous opinion, the Supreme Court tossed out a challenge from a coalition of anti-abortion doctors to the federal regulation of mifepristone — an abortion drug used in more than half of medication abortions. The ruling maintains the status quo of how mifepristone can be prescribed, distributed and how far along into pregnancy it can be taken.
But unlike with earlier Supreme Court wins, instead of celebrating abortion rights, supporters expressed temporary relief.
