El Tribunal Supremo permite que continúe el envío de la píldora abortiva por correo

El Tribunal Supremo de Estados Unidos emitió el jueves una orden de emergencia que permite la distribución por correo del fármaco abortivo mifepristona en todo el país. El fallo, que no fue firmado, bloqueó temporalmente la decisión de un tribunal federal de apelaciones que había anulado una política de la era Biden que permitía las recetas y los envíos en línea.

La orden no ofreció ninguna explicación jurídica. Los jueces Samuel Alito y Clarence Thomas presentaron su disidencia; Alito escribió que la decisión perpetúa un esquema que socava el fallo de Dobbs, y Thomas describió el sistema de correo como una empresa criminal de la cual los solicitantes no pueden alegar daños basados en la pérdida de beneficios.
