A revised legal challenge has emerged against the abortion pill mifepristone, previously dismissed by the Supreme Court, led by attorneys general from Missouri, Idaho, and Kansas. This new lawsuit aims to impose strict regulations on mifepristone, including prohibiting its use for individuals under 18 and banning telemedicine prescriptions and mail delivery of the drug. The case, which continues the 2022 lawsuit originally filed by anti-abortion groups, raises significant legal questions regarding abortion rights and federal authority over drug regulations.
