Justices on the U.S. Supreme Court express skepticism towards challenge to restrict access to abortion pills
In a recent hearing, justices on the U.S. Supreme Court have expressed skepticism towards a challenge to restrict access to abortion pills. The case involves the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, a medical group that has brought the challenge against the FDA.
The majority of justices seemed doubtful that the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine had standing to sue the FDA. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar argued that the plaintiffs did not meet the necessary circumstances to show standing. Justice Elena Kagan questioned who was actually injured by the abortion pill, emphasizing the need for a specific person impacted by the regulation.
Justice Neil Gorsuch called the case a potential nationwide legislative assembly on FDA rules and government actions. The case not only involves abortion rights but also questions the FDA’s regulatory power over drug approval and safety evaluation.
The FDA’s regulatory system is typically seen as a gold standard for drug safety and innovation, but this case has raised concerns about its authority. The story is ongoing and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
