Appeals court restores access to abortion drug, but bars sending it through the mail
A federal appeals court is allowing continued access to a common abortion medication as a legal fight around its approval wages, but with some additional restrictions.
Under the ruling from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans late Wednesday, the drug, mifepristone, will remain available, but the judges said it could no longer be sent to patients through the mail and that it could only be used up to seven weeks into a pregnancy, not 10.
