Louisiana is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to halt the mail delivery of abortion pills. The state's Republican Attorney General's office filed a request to deny emergency appeals by mifepristone manufacturers seeking to lift a lower court's decision that made access easier. Louisiana wants to overturn a 2023 federal rule allowing telemedicine prescriptions and mail distribution. This filing is part of Louisiana's legal challenge to federal regulations governing abortion medication. The state seeks to reinstate stricter dispensing requirements, arguing against the current federal rule.
