Högsta domstolen tillåter fortsatt postorderförsäljning av abortpiller

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.
