of restricting access to mifepristone. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, well-known to be hostile to abortion rights, upheld most of this flawed decision.
Of course, there are caveats: We now live in a country where abortion is completely banned or unavailable in, with more trying to implement restrictions. In states where abortion is banned, providers cannot offer procedural or medication abortion. The resulting chaos and confusion and the deeply unjust patchwork of state-by-state laws mean pregnant peoples’ rights depend on where they live and whether they can navigate extreme barriers to access abortion care.
The battles being waged in state legislatures and the courts aren’t the whole story. At the federal level, Republicans in Congress are currently holding up a bill to fund multiple government agencies over a provision to further restrict access to medication abortion.
To be clear, elected officials and judges have no right to compromise away anyone’s reproductive rights—any ban on abortion is an attack on human rights. Attacks on mifepristone are an attempt to ban one method of abortion; they are about politics and not about health or safety or scientific evidence.
