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.

    Maybe the AP expects their audience aren’t post-lobotomy and either 1) understand that there’s nothing in the headline about a ruling, thus it’s inherently temporary or 2) are willing to read, again, sixty words/two sentences into an article before passing judgment. “Deliberately omitted” like it’s some kind of scheme; get the fuck out of here with that nonsense.

    To call that standard above even sixth-grade media literacy (or US civics in the case of (1)) is being seriously generous. If you don’t understand (1), that’s maybe somewhat troubling but fine if you don’t keep up with politics. If (2) is a challenge for you (general “you”), then you have not done the bare minimum and for your own sake shouldn’t be wasting your time shitting up the comments section.
