The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday temporarily suspended the decision of a lower court, allowing access to the abortion pill mifepristone.

The suspension is valid until Wednesday before midnight to allow the parties to present their arguments. The temple of American law had been seized urgently by the Biden administration, which asked it to act before restrictions on access to this pill, ordered by an appeals court, take effect on the night of Friday to Saturday. This legal battle is the latest twist in the assault on abortion rights in the United States.
