La Cour suprême autorise la poursuite de la vente par correspondance de la pilule abortive

La Cour suprême des États-Unis a émis jeudi une ordonnance d'urgence autorisant la poursuite de la distribution par correspondance de la mifépristone, un médicament abortif, à l'échelle nationale. Cette décision, non signée, bloque temporairement l'arrêt d'une cour d'appel fédérale qui avait invalidé une politique de l'ère Biden autorisant les prescriptions et les expéditions en ligne.

L'ordonnance ne fournit aucune justification juridique. Les juges Samuel Alito et Clarence Thomas ont exprimé leur désaccord. Samuel Alito a écrit que cette décision perpétue un système qui sape l'arrêt Dobbs, tandis que Clarence Thomas a décrit le système postal comme une entreprise criminelle pour laquelle les demandeurs ne peuvent invoquer un préjudice fondé sur une perte de bénéfices.
