Supreme Court keeps abortion pill available by mail in 7-2 vote

The Supreme Court voted 7-2 to stay a Fifth Circuit ruling that would have banned mailing mifepristone nationwide, preserving telehealth and mail access to the abortion pill while litigation continues. Justices Thomas and Alito dissented, with Alito calling the order "unreasoned" and arguing that mailing mifepristone violated the Comstock Act. The ruling maintained the status quo but did not resolve the underlying legal questions.
