Opponents had wanted the Supreme Court to roll back changes made by the FDA that have made it easier to obtain the drug.
Opponents had wanted the Supreme Court to roll back changes made by the Food and Drug Administration that have made it easier to obtain the drug.
The case stemmed from a lawsuit filed by three doctors and a group called the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine incorporated in Amarillo, Texas, in 2022. They argued that they, as medical professionals, could be forced to violate their religious beliefs by conducting surgery if a woman suffering a complication of medical abortion went to their emergency room.
But the Supreme Court said in its decision that the plaintiffs"lacked standing" to challenge the FDA's actions."We recognize that many citizens, including the plaintiff doctors here, have sincere concerns about and objections to others using mifepristone and obtaining abortions.
"Citizens and doctors who object to what the law allows others to do may always take their concerns to the Executive and Legislative Branches and seek greater regulatory or legislative restrictions on certain activities," it said."We are pleased with the Supreme Court’s decision in this incredibly important case.
"Danco is proud to have led the way in obtaining FDA approval of this essential reproductive health option and of modifications to the conditions under which it can be used. We thank the Court for its careful analysis and remain committed to developing and bringing to market safe and effective products in this crucial area of public health," said the company.
