The Supreme Court on Monday restored broad access to the abortion pill mifepristone, blocking a lower-court ruling that had threatened to upend one of the main ways abortions are provided across the nation.

The order signed by Justice Samuel Alito temporarily allows women seeking abortions to obtain the pill at pharmacies or through the mail, without an in-person visit to a doctor.

Those practices had been permitted for several years until a federal appeals court imposed new restrictions last week.

    We should all buy via request…you get a random DM with a shipping address and you just place an order to go to that address. Someone there receives it and ships it to the person in need. All traces erased the moment the stuff leaves. You can add a third layer.

      That’s a crime.

      Meanwhile the person in need can just walk to the clinic and pick it up in-person. It was never banned for in person pickup.
