CNN —A majority of Supreme Court justices appeared skeptical Tuesday of the idea of a nationwide ban or new limits on mifepristone, the primary drug used for medication abortions.
At issue in the case are lower-court rulings that would have rolled back recent Food and Drug Administration decisions to ease access to the mifepristone.
“What the court did … is enter sweeping nationwide relief that restricts access to mifepristone for every single woman in this country.
Some anti-abortion activists see the law as an avenue to end medication abortion, and perhaps all kinds of abortions.
Danco’s attorney said that this case was not an appropriate venue for the court to weigh the reach of the Comstock Act.
