Pharmaceutical Company Seeks Supreme Court Stay on Abortion Drug Ruling

description

Case Summary

Pharmaceutical company Danco Laboratories filed an application with the U.S. Supreme Court on Saturday seeking a stay of an appeals court ruling that temporarily blocks the abortion drug mifepristone from being dispensed through the mail. The appeals court ruling was issued unanimously by a conservative three-judge panel on Friday, significantly curtailing access to the drug nationwide and particularly in states that have banned abortion. The temporary decision was made in a case brought by the Republican-led state of Louisiana, claiming the FDA, in adopting a 2023 rule — which allows mifepristone to be dispensed through the mail — had ignored the risks of serious adverse events posed by the drug, including sepsis and hemorrhaging.
