The Supreme Court heard oral argument in FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine (AHM), a consolidated case challenging the Food and Drug Administration’s approval for expanded use of the abortion pill mifepristone. The FDA approved this medication in 2000 as part of a two-pill regimen for terminating early pregnancies. In 2016, the FDA expanded the drug’s use from seven to 10 weeks of pregnancy, reduced the number of in-clinic appointments needed, and gave prescribing authority to non-physician health care providers. In 2021 the agency removed the in-person requirement altogether. This case dates to 2023 and was first heard in a federal district court in Texas, where that judge halted the FDA’s approval of the medication. On appeal, a three-judge Fifth Circuit panel then ruled only against the FDA’s expanded access criteria for the drug. This was the high court’s first abortion access case since overturning Roe v. Wade in 2022. close
