I want to highlight this detail from our story: We at @autonomynews.co are first to report that, when the Fifth Circuit's decision was briefly in effect earlier this month, abortion providers in some states were advised not to even prescribe mifepristone in person.

However, while the Fifth Circuit’s order was briefly in effect from the evening of May 1 until the morning of May 4, multiple sources told Autonomy News that abortion providers in some states were advised not to prescribe mifepristone in person, either. This concern arose because of the fact that, in certain restrictive states, clinicians could have been accused of prescribing “misbranded” drugs if they gave patients mifepristone even in person for abortion or miscarriage, because the actual label and drug information would have been out of step with the restrictions imposed by the Fifth Circuit.

NEW: After initially missing its own 5pm deadline, this evening the Supreme Court blocked a Fifth Circuit ruling that would have restricted telehealth access to the abortion drug mifepristone. Mifepristone remains available, including by mail. But Thomas and Alito both wrote alarming dissents:

In my first adapted excerpt of Killers of Roe, I reflect on @irincarmon.bsky.social's reporting on Planned Parenthood's "good-girl problem" and what the abortion rights movement can learn from history...and from its enemies. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

What the Pro-Choice Movement Can Learn From Those Who Overturned “Roe”

The anti-abortion movement was methodical and radical at the same time. The abortion-rights movement must be too.

In case people tell you that public criticism of the court doesn’t matter, here’s Brett Kavanaugh trying to walk back what he said in the ICE roving patrol case - when he blessed racial profiling & called the stops prompt. He was lambasted; @akalhan.bsky.social coined the term “Kavanaugh stops”
