Is American women’s access to abortion drug Mifepristone about to stop? – BBC Newsnight
The hours are ticking down in the United States towards another crucial decision amidst a row over access to an abortion drug. Mifepristone is used to terminate a pregnancy in more than half of abortions in the United States.
The Supreme Court’s order to pause a lower court ruling that would strip the US Food and Drug Administration’s approval of mifepristone, expired at midnight on Friday. The US Supreme Court will now decide whether a Texas judge who suspended its use earlier this month questioning its safety, was right to do so.
Abortion rights in America have been at the centre of legal wrangling since the US Supreme Court controversially overturned Roe versus Wade last year – which suddenly meant the right to an abortion under the American constitution was no longer guaranteed – and it returned abortion decisions to individual states.
Right now abortion remains legal in about half the states across the USA. Anna Collinson reports.
