Supreme Court for Now Restores Abortion Pill Access by Mail

The US Supreme Court temporarily restored the ability of patients to get a widely used abortion pill by mail, pausing a ruling that required people to visit a healthcare provider.

The administrative stay, issued by Justice Samuel Alito, gives the high court more time to figure out how to deal with a three-day-old appellate ruling that upended abortion access by barring providers from mailing mifepristone. Alito’s order extends until May 11.
