I will forever believe it was because they couldn’t carve out a special case to separate this drug from the rest of Big Pharma.
BREAKING: Supreme Court stays order banning mifepristone. This means mifepristone remains 100% legal and accessible in states where it is legal.

The fact that Roberts, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett voted to halt the decisions below—and that Alito did not even try to defend Kacsmaryk or the 5th Circuit, on standing or the merits—strongly suggests that the Supreme Court will NOT use this case to ban or limit mifepristone.

Republicans on abortion
It’s amazing how Republicans are double downing on abortion. They are so out of step with most Americans. Not content with overturning Roe, now they want to troll us. It’s going to backfire. It will be one of the top two 2024 issues. They wanna f**k around, so they’ll find out. pic.twitter.com/079dWGppc0

I think Alito really thought he was ending the abortion debate forever and the fact that no one is obeying his commandment from on high broke his brain.
