Supreme Court renews requirement for women to obtain abortion pills in person
(Worthy News) – The Supreme Court on Tuesday renewed a requirement for women to obtain abortion pills at medical facilities, following a request from the Trump administration.
In a 6-3 decision split along conservative versus liberal bloc lines, the court decided that a July ordinance allowing women to receive the pills in the mail, per the coronavirus pandemic, is no longer in effect. The Trump administration asked for the requirement to be reinstated late last year.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in a concurrence with the unsigned majority opinion that the “courts owe significant deference to the politically accountable entities with the ‘background, competence, and expertise to assess public health,'” referring to a Food and Drug Administration rule requiring women to pick up abortion pills in person.
