Quote:The Supreme Court on Thursday rejected a lawsuit challenging the Food and Drug Administration’s approach to regulating the abortion pill mifepristone with a ruling that will continue to allow the pills to be mailed to patients without an in-person doctor’s visit.

Quote:Though technical, the court’s reasoning is important because it might encourage other mifepristone challenges in the future.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the opinion for the unanimous court:

Justice Brett Kavanaugh [C]itizens and doctors do not have standing to sue simply because others are allowed to engage in certain activities – at least without the plaintiffs demonstrating how they would be injured by the government’s alleged under-regulation of others.
