Over 100 Republican lawmakers are urging the Supreme Court to reinstate restrictions on abortion pills. They argue that current policies allowing mifepristone to be mailed without in-person oversight have led to coercion.

This represents a significant political and legal push to alter the availability of abortion medication. The lawmakers' appeal to the Supreme Court highlights the ongoing debate and legal challenges surrounding mifepristone.
