Rule that lets Texans obtain out-of-state abortion pills can continue for now, Supreme Court says
· KRGV (NBC 5)
The U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a ruling from the 5th Circuit Court that would limit access to the abortion drug mifepristone. This decision allows Texans to continue obtaining the medication through telehealth services from other states where abortion is legal. Justice Samuel Alito issued the hold to give the court more time to review the case, which stems from a lawsuit in Louisiana. The ruling affects thousands of telehealth prescriptions monthly and has sparked national debate on abortion access, particularly in states like Texas, where such services are crucial due to restrictive laws.
