The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Friday to uphold access to an abortion drug in the United States. In its ruling, the Supreme Court rejected restrictions as long as the legal dispute over the abortion pill mifepristone continues.
Mifepristone – known in Austria by its trade name mifegyne – was approved in the US in 2000 and is often used in combination with the drug misoprostol for termination of pregnancy. The US drug agency FDA lists only 28 deaths with more than 5.6 million intakes of mifepristone since its approval, but some of these are related to other factors.
Abortion opponents have filed a lawsuit in the US state of Texas against the approval of mifepristone – they want to make access to medical abortion more difficult. A judge agreed with them – the US administration of Democratic President Joe Biden took action against the decision.
