Hi john,

When Will This Hellish Abortion Pill Volley End?

Today, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals rolled back the FDA’s 2000 approval of mifepristone, which limits the window for abortion seekers to take the drug down to seven weeks, and mandates in-person dispensing. Today’s decision nullifies the 2016 update, which had expanded access to up to 10 weeks.

What’s It All Mean? We Got You!

FIRST: MIFEPRISTONE IS STILL LEGAL, ACCESSIBLE, AND AVAILABLE UNTIL 10 WEEKS OF PREGNANCY. 

For all of the important details, Lizz and Moji broke out a great analysis of the decision and where the case goes from here on Instagram Live- check out the full conversation here!

We are devastated by this decision to roll back access to life-saving medication, but are grateful to know this does not go into effect unless the Supreme Court decides not to take up this case, and that medication abortion is STILL available up to 10 weeks! 

Grab a Snack and Settle in for the Waiting Game

And now we impatiently wait to find out if the Supreme Court will pick this whole thing back up again. Will the Fifth Circuit uphold the district court’s ruling that essentially signed off on the case brought by religious right extremists? Will the case end up back at the Supreme Court, or will SCOTUS use its shadow docket to let the Fifth Circuit’s ruling stand? Will we explode into a supernova of rage? ONLY TIME WILL TELL!

Regardless of the decision, Abortion Access Front has a team of experts prepared to cut through the noise, explain to the public what has happened, what they can expect, and how to prepare for what comes next.

Thank you
