The appeals court ruled that the abortion pill mifepristone can remain available but with restrictions. However, access remains unchanged until the Supreme Court decides whether to take the case. The case marks a major legal battle since Roe was overturned. While the ruling allows the drug to stay on the market, it turns back changes by the FDA easing access. Any effects of the ruling are delayed as the case will likely return to the Supreme Court. The judges were appointed by Republican presidents and indicated a willingness to restrict the drug during arguments. Overall the ruling was a partial victory for both sides but access remains unsettled as the legal fight continues.

Never forget the bribery of the criminals serving on the Supreme Court.

The moment I found out that that court is answerable to no one, I lost any faith in it. How many "Who watches the Watchmen?" scenarios do we have to go thru before it becomes apparent that an actual system of checks and balances is always necessary?
