The Supreme Court said Wednesday it will consider whether to restrict access to a widely used abortion drug — even in states where the procedure is still allowed.

The case concerns the drug mifepristone that — when coupled with another drug — is one of the most common abortion methods in the United States.

The decision means the conservative-leaning court will again wade into the abortion debate after overturning Roe v. Wade last year, altering the landscape of abortion rights nationwide and triggering more than half the states to outlaw or severely restrict the procedure.

    Making a decision about the legality of medication is judicial overreach.

    That isn’t whats happening. What’s going on is that the FDA is being challenged that it didn’t follow it’s own process on approving the relaxation of rules regarding the prescribing and dispensing of Mifepristone. If SCOTUS rules that they didn’t follow their process mifepristone will still be available but will return to being harder to get…at least until it DOES follow its own process.
