Supreme Court just paused the Fifth Circuit’s ruling barring telehealth for med ab until May 11. Parties have til Thursday to respond.
The Nation Magazine@thenation.com · 3mo agoNo matter what comes after the Fifth Circuit reimposed restrictions on mifepristone, it’s worth remembering that the Louisiana case is one strand of a multipronged attack on the abortion pill, writes @rebouche.bsky.social. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Today the Fifth Circuit puts back into place the in person pickup requirement for mifepristone (first drug in a medication abortion) - if the judgment applies nationwide, it could bar telehealth or mailed med ab. For how long this decision sticks is TBD
What's on the ballot next year in terms of reproductive rights? Not a ton, actually. The big fight is over access to abortion pills, and it will be decided in courtrooms & federal agencies, writes law scholar @rebouche.bsky.social in a story jointly produced with @us.theconversation.com.

Update on the interstate conflict over abortion. A NY court sided with a county clerk who refused to enter a motion to enforce Texas's judgment against a NY doctor. Why? The state's shield law prohibits him from helping Texas in its suit against NY doctor acting lawfully under NY's shield statute.
