A unanimous Supreme Court threw out anti-abortion doctors' challenge to the FDA's rules for the abortion pill mifepristone, holding they had no standing to sue, so mail and telehealth access stayed in place.

The FDA approved Evita Solutions' 200 mg mifepristone tablets as the second generic of the abortion pill, less than two weeks after HHS promised a safety review of the drug.

Texas's Woman and Child Protection Act takes effect, letting private citizens sue anyone who makes, mails or provides abortion pills into Texas for at least $100,000 per violation, while barring suits against the woman.

A Fifth Circuit panel granted Louisiana a stay of the FDA's 2023 mifepristone rules, ending telehealth prescribing and mail or pharmacy dispensing of the abortion pill nationwide until the Supreme Court stepped in.

The Supreme Court stayed the Fifth Circuit's order in Louisiana v. FDA, so mifepristone can again be prescribed by telehealth and sent by mail while the case goes on; Justices Thomas and Alito dissented.

A Fifth Circuit panel of Judges Richman, Higginson and Douglas heard Louisiana's bid to end telehealth prescribing of mifepristone and pressed the state hard on whether it has standing to sue.
