Mifepristone is a medicine that blocks the receptors for the hormone progesterone, which is needed for fetal development.

Key Points: 
  • Mifepristone is a medicine that blocks the receptors for the hormone progesterone, which is needed for fetal development.
  • It is part of a two-step medication abortion regimen along with misoprostol, a drug used to prevent stomach ulcers that also causes uterine contractions.
  • Medication abortion with this two-step approach or a slightly less effective misoprostol-only regimen is now used in more than half of all abortions in the U.S.
  • The Food and Drug Administration approved mifepristone in the year 2000 for use in medication abortion up to seven weeks.
  • This case, and another in which a federal judge from Washington made a different decision about mifepristone, are now headed to the Supreme Court.

Legal history paved the way

    • Both decisions stem from decades of judicial rulings that interpret medical science for legal ends.
    • The 2022 Dobbs decision that overturned nearly 50 years of the constitutional right to an abortion opened the door for legal challenges to any and all abortions.
    • Dobbs addressed medical care related to pregnancy and birth, but the case mainly focused on reinterpreting the legal history of abortion to justify overturning precedent.

Assessing harms

    • Potential harm does not align with long-standing principles related to judicial standing; the plaintiffs must show that the agency rule will harm them.
    • The decision on standing relies on a highly questionable interpretation of scientific evidence of harm.
    • The 5th Circuit that affirmed Kacsmaryk’s decision about standing claims this is a narrow decision about the harm to plaintiffs.

Flawed arguments

    • Those who cannot access mifepristone will have to either use less effective medication regimens or will be forced to get surgical abortions at later gestational ages.
    • Delays means the fetus continues to grow, a fact about abortion access restrictions that deeply troubled Justice Kennedy.
    • It has been shown in numerous studies to help women safely treat an incomplete miscarriage and is now used off label for this purpose.
    • Doctors who have been vocally opposed to the COVID-19 vaccine can easily find information to support arguments that they will have to care for vaccine injuries.
