The United States Supreme Court rejected a bid by anti-abortion groups and doctors to limit access to the abortion pill on Thursday, giving President Joe Biden’s administration a victory in its efforts to keep the medicine widely available.
The justices ruled 9-0 to overrule a lower court’s decision to reverse U.S. Food and medicine Administration steps taken in 2016 and 2021 that eased how the medicine, known as mifepristone, is prescribed and dispensed.
The decision was written by conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
More than 60% of abortions in the United States are performed with the pill, which was approved by the FDA in 2000.
The court concluded that the plaintiffs, who filed in Texas in 2022, lacked the legal standing to prosecute the action, which required them to demonstrate harm caused by the FDA.
In 2022, the Supreme Court’s 6-3 conservative majority overturned its 1973 Roe v. Wade precedent, which had permitted abortion nationwide, prompting 14 states to ban or severely restrict the procedure.
