US Supreme Court Votes 7-2 to Protect Access to Abortion Pill Mifepristone

(Washington, DC) — [LifeSiteNews.com] After pushing back its decision earlier in the week, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled Friday to, at least temporarily, preserve access to abortion-inducing pill mifepristone as a lawsuit against the drug works its way through the federal court system.

Adverse events are notoriously underreported to the FDA, and as of 2016, the FDA only requires abortion pill manufacturers to report maternal deaths."

Pro-lifers warn that with the Biden administration completely eliminating requirements that abortion pills be taken under any medical supervision or with medical support close by, those events are certain to increase... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
