[HIGHLIGHTS] The U.S. Supreme Court temporarily blocked lower courts from restricting an abortion pill

The US Supreme Court said on the 14th local time that it will temporarily prevent lower courts from restricting the abortion pill mifepristone. The Supreme Court will make a final ruling on the case on April 4.

Once restrictions are restored, it means that access to abortion will be greatly affected. In June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Since then, many states in the United States have introduced abortion bans or severe restrictions on abortion.
