SUPREME COURT RULING ON MIFEPRISTONE IS GOOD NEWS — BUT IT NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (June 13, 2024) – Today the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the right for Americans to access the abortion pill mifepristone. The unanimous ruling came on the grounds that the plaintiffs did not have the legal standing to bring the case to court. Take Back the Court released the following statement on behalf of its president, Sarah Lipton-Lubet, in response:

"Don’t be taken in by a Supreme Court majority that is desperate to look moderate while imposing its extreme right-wing agenda. While it’s good news that Americans will retain access to a safe, effective abortion medication — for now — but we never should have been in this position in the first place. This case was laughable from the start, and it only existed because the conservative justices reversed decades of settled precedent to pursue their political and religious views. The deadly chaos they created when they overturned Roe isn’t going anywhere, even if they rein in their most outrageous allies every once in a while."
