Fifth Circuit Requires In-Person Mifepristone Collection
The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals rolled back access to the abortion pill mifepristone on Friday. The decision stems from a case brought by the State of Louisiana against the Food and Drug Administration regarding the removal of an in-person requirement for patients receiving the medication. This ruling impacts drug makers and access for the whole country. The court's decision effectively reverses the previous allowance for telemedicine-based prescriptions. A district court judge had previously placed the case on hold in April. Legal expert Mary Ziegler from UC Davis described the decision as potentially the most consequential lower court ruling since Dobbs. The ruling is expected to require responses from political figures and the Trump administration. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Chancellor Friedrich Merz addressed high school students regarding the ruling.
