Trump administration asks Supreme Court to reinstate abortion pill rule (The Hill)

“Since 2000, the FDA has required that doctors administer abortion pills in person due to health risks associated with misuse of the [abortifacient] drugs mifepristone and misoprostol,” according to the report. In July, however, a federal judge, citing the pandemic, permitted mail-order abortifacients. Defending its regulation, the FDA argued that “surgical methods of abortion remain widely available.”
