Anti-abortion doctors urge Supreme Court to keep mifepristone restrictions in place

A group of anti-abortion doctors has urged the U.S. Supreme Court to maintain restrictions on mifepristone, a key medication used in abortions, as the court approaches a deadline to decide on the matter. The doctors filed a document asking the justices to deny the Biden administration's request to lift restrictions on the drug, arguing that the FDA did not adequately study its safety and that the government has ignored legal requirements and prioritized politics over women's health. This comes after a federal judge in Texas ruled that mifepristone should not have been approved in 2000. Justice Samuel Alito previously requested additional time to review the case, with a final decision expected by midnight Eastern Time on Wednesday.
