A coalition of doctors opposed to abortion and a group of 147 Republican lawmakers were among the parties urging the Supreme Court to restrict access to a common abortion drug while legal challenges play out in lower courts.
The high court has a Wednesday-before-midnight deadline to act on a decision stemming from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, which upheld parts of a Texas federal district judge's ruling to override the government's 2000 approval of mifepristone, one of two drugs used in a nonsurgical abortion process.
Meanwhile, a total of 147 GOP representatives and senators of 37 different states, including Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene , issued a separate brief asking the justices to uphold the appeals court decision. In contrast, 253 Democrats joined an April 14 brief backing the FDA's approval.
