Suprema Corte permite que envio de pílulas abortivas pelo correio continue

A Suprema Corte dos EUA emitiu na quinta-feira uma ordem emergencial permitindo que a distribuição do medicamento abortivo mifepristona continue sendo feita pelo correio em todo o país. A decisão, que não foi assinada, suspendeu temporariamente a decisão de um tribunal federal de apelações que havia derrubado uma política da era Biden que permitia prescrições e envios online.

A ordem não forneceu nenhuma explicação jurídica. Os juízes Samuel Alito e Clarence Thomas dissentiram, com Alito escrevendo que a decisão perpetua um esquema que mina o julgamento do caso Dobbs e Thomas descrevendo o sistema de correio como um empreendimento criminoso a partir do qual os requerentes não podem alegar danos baseados em lucros perdidos.

A study published April 6, 2026, in JAMA Internal Medicine found that people seeking medication abortion often reached the same eligibility conclusions as clinicians when using prototype “over-the-counter-style” packaging and a drug facts label. Researchers and outside experts said the results add to evidence that self-screening could work, though any move to over-the-counter sales would face major regulatory and political hurdles.

The U.S. Supreme Court issued an order on Monday allowing its April 29 decision in Louisiana v. Callais to take immediate effect, bypassing the usual 32-day waiting period.
