The Supreme Court said Friday it was temporarily keeping in place federal rules for use of an abortion drug, while it takes time to more fully consider the issues raised in a court challenge.
In an order signed by Justice Samuel Alito, the court put a five-day pause on the fast-moving case so the justices can decide whether lower court rulings restricting the Food and Drug Administration's approval of the drug, mifepristone, should be allowed to take effect in the short term.
A lawyer for the anti-abortion doctors and medical organizations suing over mifepristone said the court's action Friday was "standard operating procedure" and urged the justices to allow the appeals court-ordered changes to take effect by the middle of next week. The court rarely acts so quickly to grant full review of cases before at least one appeals court has thoroughly examined the legal issues involved.
Erin Hawley, a lawyer for the challengers, said in a statement that the FDA has put politics ahead of health concerns in its actions on medication abortion. It's unclear how the FDA can comply with court orders in both cases, a situation that Prelogar described Friday as untenable.
