The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Friday to maintain access for now to an abortion pill used for more than half of abortions in the country, suspending restrictions decided by lower courts.
The federal government had applied to the high court to have these decisions suspended, which the temple of law granted. This is the most important decision of the Supreme Court on the question of abortion since it canceled the constitutional guarantee to abortion in June 2022.
The high court notably blocked on Friday the judgment of a federal magistrate in Texas, known for his Christian faith, his ultra-conservative positions and appointed by Donald Trump, who on April 7 withdrew the marketing authorization for the mifepristone, after being seized by anti-abortion activists.
The Supreme Court’s decision means that American women can continue to receive mifepristone by mail.
