Högsta domstolen tillåter fortsatt postorderförsäljning av abortpiller

Svenska

USA:s högsta domstol utfärdade på torsdagen ett akutbeslut som tillåter att abortläkemedlet mifepriston fortsätter att distribueras via post över hela landet. Det osignerade domslutet blockerade tillfälligt ett beslut från en federal appellationsdomstol som tidigare hade upphävt en policy från Biden-administrationen som tillåter recept och leveranser via nätet.

Beslutet gav ingen juridisk motivering. Domarna Samuel Alito och Clarence Thomas reserverade sig mot beslutet, där Alito skrev att beslutet vidmakthåller ett system som undergräver Dobbs-domen, och Thomas beskrev postsystemet som en kriminell verksamhet från vilken sökande inte kan hävda skada baserat på förlorad vinst.

Pro-life advocates have criticized the move, urging stricter regulations on medication abortion.

Study finds many patients can self-screen for medication abortion eligibility using prototype labeling

Rapporterad av AI Faktagranskad

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.
