The U.S. Supreme Court will temporarily allow women to obtain abortion pills through the mail, without visiting an in-person doctor.
Justices on the court blocked a ruling out of Louisiana that would have restricted a woman's ability to access a pill through the mail. Louisiana already has a ban on the abortion drug mifepristone, but sought to prevent its access through the mail from other states.
An order, finalized by the Joe Biden administration in 2023, allowed for women to access mifepristone without an in-person doctor's visit. A federal judge ruled in favor of Louisiana last week, blocking access to the pill through the mail.
