Version 7.4.3
Mailing mifepristone is a matter of basic health care access, and SCOTUS was right to restore it. Judges have no business overriding medical experts on what medications patients can receive. The chaos caused by the 5th Circuit's ruling already had real consequences for real people and everyone deserves the same reproductive health care protections. SCOTUS must permanently prevent the ban.
Mifepristone is more dangerous than abortion supporters would leave you to believe. Mailing it without medical oversight puts mothers at serious risk. The 5th Circuit was right to block a scheme that ships abortion drugs across state lines. SCOTUS' decision to restore mail access is a dangerous step backward. Congress now must act to ban mifepristone for elective abortion use entirely.
