SCOTUS Permits Access to Mifepristone Again | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The US Supreme Court is letting stand, for now, access to the FDA approved abortion drug, mifepristone, in states where abortions are legal. After the justices handed down the decision on Friday, reaction among lawmakers was mostly along party lines. Republicans are confident that the US Supreme Court's ruling is only a temporary setback in their efforts to protect the lives of the unborn. However, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says Democrats are prepared to fight against Republicans' efforts to outlaw abortion nationwide. Senator Schumer says, "Make no mistake about it, the hard right anti-choice MAGA wing in this country will keep working and working and working to take away all women's rights. But we will fight it and fight it and fight it and we will succeed." For now, mifepristone remains available for women in states where abortion is legal, as the turbulent battle over the abortion pill heads back to an appeals court. Had the decision been upheld, it would have restricted use of the abortion pill.
