• A federal appeals court ruled yesterday that mifepristone can remain on the market, but the judges would reimpose prior restrictions that could limit access to the medication.
• This includes preventing the drug from being mailed directly to patients and changing the approved use of the pill from up to 10 weeks into pregnancy back down to seven weeks.
• This all comes as the legal battle over medication abortion has escalated over the past few months with the outcome having the potential to once again reshape the country’s abortion landscape.
• The Biden administration has already said it’s planning to fight the ruling
