March 27, 2024: Just the beginning of the mifepristone story
Release Date:
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments on whether the nation
should significantly limit the use of mifepristone, a pill that
terminates early pregnancy. A number of justices on the
majority-conservative court appeared to take issue with the idea of a
sweeping, national pronouncement. But, this story is really just getting
started. Anti-abortion activists and elected officials have several
backup plans if the Supreme Court reject their arguments for nationwide
restrictions on the drug. Health care reporter Alice Miranda Ollstein
walks Playbook co-author Rachael Bade through the story.
