On Monday, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito or the entire Supreme Court could decide the next steps for the abortion drug mifepristone. Alito restored full access to the medication after the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled that the FDA's rule from 2023 allowing mifepristone to be sent to patients through the mail after they had a telehealth visit was wrong.
