Abortion pill rule revived

In the Supreme Court’s first ruling on abortion since the arrival of Justice Amy Coney Barrett, the court Tuesday reinstated a federal requirement that women seeking to end their pregnancies using medications pick up a pill in person from a hospital or medical office. The court’s brief order was unsigned, and the three more liberal justices dissented. Julia Kaye, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union, said in a statement: “The court’s ruling rejects science, compassion and decades of legal precedent in service of the Trump administration’s antiabortion agenda.”
