Supreme Court pauses ruling blocking delivery of abortion pills by mail The United States Supreme Court has paused a lower court ruling halting the distribution of abortion pills by mail as the issue remains a source of contention in American politics. In an order released Monday, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito stayed an opinion issued by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals siding with the state of Louisiana in its challenge to the Food and Drug Administration’s 2023 loosening of requirements to obtain the abortion pill, also known as mifepristone. Alito’s order remains in effect until Monday, May 11, at 5 p.m.
