On Thursday, the Supreme Court will either allow mifepristone to continue to be sent through the mail OR put the Fifth Circuit’s ban back in effect as this case weaves its way through the courts.
This is NOT about the safety or efficacy of mifepristone. Together with the drug misoprostol, it has been the FDA approved abortion pill protocol for 26 years. It has gone through hundreds of studies, is 98% effective, AND is safer than many of the headache medications you will need to take after reading this.
It is also important to note that whatever happens Thursday, both medications are STILL legal and available online and in clinic.

But you need the full story. This Fifth Circuit ruling is just ONE piece of a coordinated strategy to take mifepristone off the market entirely.
