The abortion pill mifepristone can remain on the market, but with tight restrictions that would severely reduce access to it nationwide, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday night. Mifepristone will no longer be able to be sent to patients by mail, and the latest it could be used to end a pregnancy was dropped from 70 days down to 49, or about seven weeks, before many people know they\u2019re pregnant.<\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s ruling essentially walked back many changes the FDA had made since 2016 that made it easier for patients to access medical abortion. It also comes less than a week after a conservative federal judge in Texas ruled to suspend the FDA\u2019s approval of the drug, saying regulators had failed to consider \u201cthe psychological effects of the drug or an evaluation of the long-term medical consequences of the drug.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Medication abortion is usually carried out by ingesting two pills: mifepristone, which blocks the hormone progesterone and stops a fetus from developing, and misoprostol, which induces the expulsion of pregnancy tissue from the uterus. The drug, which must be prescribed by a healthcare provider, was approved for use in the US in 2000.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court has not yet indicated whether it will step in to rule on the case, but the DOJ has already said it intends to ask the court to do so.\u00a0<\/p>\n
