The case began in November last year, when anti-abortion medical organizations
and a few doctors filed a lawsuit claiming that the F.D.A. had unlawfully
approved the drug mifepristone decades ago.Credit...Haiyun Jiang for The New

Reporting from Washington
Dec. 13, 2023Updated 4:59 p.m. ET
The Supreme Court announced on Wednesday that it would decide on the
availability of a commonly used abortion pill, the first major case involving
abortion on its docket since it overturned the constitutional right to the
procedure more than a year ago.
The Biden administration had asked the justices to intervene after a three-judge
panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit favored
curbing distribution of the drug, mifepristone, appearing skeptical of the Food
and Drug Administration’s regulation of the pill in recent years. In its ruling,
the panel said that the pill would remain legal, but with significant
restrictions on patients’ access, including prohibiting the medication from
being sent by mail or prescribed by telemedicine.
The move sets up a high-stakes fight over the drug that could sharply curtail
access to the medication, even in states where abortion remains legal. It could
also have implications for the regulatory authority of the Food and Drug
Administration, which approved the pill more than two decades ago.
