The Supreme Court of the United States rejected this Thursday a resource to limit access to the abortion pill mifepristonethe most common in the North American country, in a symbolic triumph for the Joe Biden Administration that, however, does not examine the substance of the issue.
Various American courts had ruled in recent years in relation to this medication and a group of doctors opposed to abortion had taken the case to the Supreme Court. which finally rejected the appeal for procedural reasons.
Judge Brett Kavanough explained in the ruling that although “many” citizens, including the plaintiffs, may have objections to the use of mifepristone, These have not demonstrated to what extent they would be harmed by the alleged poor regulationreports CNN.
The judges therefore leave intact the regulations of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which will allow the pills to continue arriving by mail to patients without these having to go through a consultation.
The ruling is relevant because it is the first on sexual and reproductive rights issued by the Supreme Court since In 2022, it repealed the historic ruling that established the right to abortion throughout the country. The High Court has had a solid conservative majority since Donald Trump’s time in the White House.
