The approval by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has been upheld by SCOTUS.  A group of physicians calling themselves the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, filed suit against the FDA citing harm to pregnant women with the use of this drug.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the unanimous decision:

“Plaintiffs are pro-life, oppose elective abortion, and have sincere legal, moral, ideological, and policy objections to mifepristone being prescribed and used by others,” the opinion reads. “Because plaintiffs do not prescribe or use mifepristone, plaintiffs are unregulated parties who seek to challenge FDA’s regulation of others.”

“Plaintiffs advance several complicated causation theories to connect FDA’s actions to the plaintiffs’ alleged injuries in fact,” he added. “None of these theories suffices to establish Article III standing.”

According to Planned Parenthood’s website, women must be age 17 and older in order to use the “abortion pill”.  They also note that abortion and the use of the abortion pill is illegal in many states.
