== U.S. Supreme Court upheld abortion pill access ==
news at nyt - June 14, 2024: The Supreme Court upheld broad access to mifepristone, a widely available abortion pill, rejecting a bid by anti-abortion organizations and doctors to unravel a U.S. regulator’s approval of the drug. The unanimous decision was a major loss for the anti-abortion movement, which is aggressively seeking an end to all abortion in the country.
The ruling means that access to medication abortion — by far the most common method used in the U.S. — will continue for now. But it does not change the fact that medication abortion remains restricted in the 14 states with near-total bans on abortion.
The numbers: More than 171,000 people traveled out of their states to get an abortion in 2023. news at nyt - June 14, 2024
