A unanimous Supreme court decision, protecting access to the abortion pill brings near unanimous reaction on the bench. It's not over in the case. A group of anti abortion rights medical professionals challenged the FDA'S regulation around Mifepristone accusing the administration of unlawfully easing restrictions around the drug. In the court's opinion. Justice Brett Kavanaugh writes, the plaintiffs have failed to demonstrate that F D's relaxed regulatory requirements likely would cause them to suffer an injury while noting the plaintiffs have sincere legal, moral, ideological and policy objections to elective abortion and to FD A's relaxed regulation of Mifepristone. But that because they weren't personally injured, the case doesn't have legal standing. The court did not weigh in on whether the FDA was right to roll back restrictions, leaving the door open to future cases. This is the same district court that already has allowed several states, the States of Kansas, Idaho and Missouri to intervene. We continue the fight. It is not over we back with another case with better standing. Next signs. The ruling keeps Mifepristone available by mail in most states where abortion is legal. In other words, status quo which Vice President Harris says is not reason to celebrate. We are looking at the fact that two thirds of reproductive age in America live in a state with a Trump abortion ban. This ruling is not going to change that. It's been two years since the Supreme Court overturned Roe V Wade in Congress. The issue has expanded to include access to contraception and IVF this week, Senate Republicans blocked a package of bills that would protect IVF access nationwide in a 4847 vote. It needed 60 to move forward. Senate Republicans have called that bill Political Show and overreach. Now, the Supreme Court still has 24 opinions to get through and is set to release as many as four more decisions. Today. One of those cases could decide whether federal law protects abortion access in emergency rooms when a woman's health is at risk. Christiane Cordero ABC News, Washington.
