Less than a year after SCOTUS voted to overturn Roe by allowing states to impose strict abortion limits, it must now decide a case that stemmed from a lone district court judge's decision to overturn the government's approval of the drug mifepristone.
Meanwhile, a separate district court ruling that was issued less than an hour after Kacsmaryk's initial decision complicated the matter with a conflicting decision. Washington-based District Judge Thomas O. Rice, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, blocked the FDA from limiting the availability of mifepristone in much of the country.
That ruling, also issued April 7, applies to just 17 liberal-leaning states and Washington, D.C., which filed a lawsuit in February challenging the FDA’s regulations over the drug. The Supreme Court is slated to act by midnight Wednesday, though it's not clear how the justices will decide this matter shortly after Alito blocked the appeals court decision from taking effect.
"I think that's perfectly logical, but whether that will happen, I just don't know," Tobias said."But I kind of hope that there just isn't a vote or something that doesn't tell us anything."
