The court held that those challenging the status of the pill lacked legal standing to do so. …

Advocates for mifepristone said the current system by which the drug is provided is safe, while opponents said it puts women at risk by ignoring safety measures that used to be in place. …

The Supreme Court case came after Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, an appointee of President Donald Trump, held in April 2023 that the FDA was wrong to approve mifepristone for public use in 2000. He said the FDA was under political pressure to get the pill on the market and then, after that, had deliberately dragged out judicial review of the drug for years.

Judge Kacsmaryk found the FDA had improperly lifted restrictions related to accessing the drug and issued a preliminary nationwide injunction retroactively staying the FDA’s approval. …

During oral arguments at the Supreme Court on March 26, much of the discussion focused on legal standing, that is, the connection a litigant has to a controversy before the court.
