Supreme Court protects access to abortion pill
By Ariane de Vogue, CNN Supreme Court Reporter

As a result, the US Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the drug mifepristone and subsequent actions that made it more easily accessible will remain in place while appeals play out – potentially for months to come.
Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito publicly dissented.
