APPEALS COURT UPHOLDS LEGALITY OF ABORTION PILL BUT WITH SIGNIFICANT
RESTRICTIONS

The restrictions, which would prevent mifepristone from being mailed to patients
and would require in-person doctor visits, are on hold until the Supreme Court
weighs in.

Published Aug. 16, 2023Updated Aug. 17, 2023, 7:16 a.m. ET

A federal appeals court panel said on Wednesday that the abortion pill
mifepristone should remain legal in the United States but with significant
restrictions on patients’ access to it, setting up a showdown before the Supreme
Court on the fate of the most common method of terminating pregnancies.

The decision, which would prohibit the pill from being sent through the mail or
prescribed through telemedicine, is the latest development in a closely watched
lawsuit that seeks to remove abortion pills entirely from the market by
invalidating the Food and Drug Administration’s 23-year-old approval of
mifepristone. But for now, the ruling will have no real-world effect: In April,
the Supreme Court said mifepristone would have to remain available under the
current rules until the appeals process concludes.
