"Justice Alito's order blocks the appeals court's decision from taking effect until May 11, allowing mifepristone to be prescribed via telehealth and mail for one more week."
"The appeals court ruling required the FDA to revert to rules mandating in-person prescriptions for mifepristone, impacting access to medication abortion across the country."
Justice Samuel Alito issued a one-week hold on changes to mifepristone prescription regulations. An appeals court had mandated that the FDA revert to in-person prescriptions only, prohibiting telehealth and mail prescriptions. Alito's order allows current practices to continue until May 11, responding to a request from mifepristone manufacturers. He also requested briefs from all parties involved in the lawsuit from Louisiana by May 7.
