Conservative Supreme Court justices wrote a scathing dissent to the 7-2 decision to allow women to continue accessing the abortion pill Mifepristone via mail and telehealth.

"What is at stake is the perpetration of a scheme to undermine our decision in Dobbs v. Jackson," Justice Samuel Alito wrote in his dissent, referring to the decision that overturned Roe v. Wade and pulled back abortion access.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court continued a pause on an appeals court decision that restricted access to Mifepristone via telehealth and mail. The decision extended a stay that the bench handed down earlier in the month, but it is not the final decision, as it will go back to the New Orleans-based appeals court and could return to the Supreme Court docket, reported The Hill.

"Manufacturers of the drug...are obviously aware of what is going on yet nevertheless supply the drug and reap profits from its felonious use in Louisiana," Alito went on.

Fellow conservative Justice Clarence Thomas also wrote a dissenting opinion. He blasted the drug manufacturers, who "are not entitled to a stay of an adverse court order based on lost profits from their criminal enterprise."

Alito added that "more abortions now occur each month in Louisiana than they did before Dobbs" as a result of out-of-state doctors and organizations mailing abortion pills to Louisiana women's doors

1. "...a scheme to undermine our decision in Dobbs v. Jackson..."

That’s a lie – there is no ‘scheme.’

2. Kinda surprised Amy Coney Barret voted for access to the pill.

6. Possible she actuall knows that it is essential for many women who miscarry?

Nothing like leaving debris of a miscarriage in a woman of baby making age to keep corporations from exploiting female workers and their offspring. Coney Barret might actually know things the two piggies never consider.

3. What other issues is this pill described for or is it for one purpose only?

4. good question

wiki says:

Cushing's syndrome
Mifepristone is used for the medical treatment of high blood sugar caused by high cortisol levels in the blood (hypercortisolism) in adults with endogenous Cushing's syndrome who also have type 2 diabetes mellitus or glucose intolerance and have failed surgery or cannot have surgery.[6][14] In a Phase III trial, it improved glycemic control, increased insulin sensitivity, and reduced body weight regardless of the cause of CS.[28]

Other uses
Mifepristone at low doses has been used for emergency contraception.[30][31][12] Mifepristone has also been used to treat symptomatic leiomyoma (uterine fibroids) and endometriosis.[32] As elevated cortisol levels have been implicated in psychotic depression, mifepristone has been used as a treatment.[33]

7. Also to assure remnants of miscarriage are completely expelled so the woman does not die of sepsis.

Ideology driven judges and pols who don't have knowledge of female bodies need to STFU and stay out of our medical care.

8. Thank you..I thought it has multiple uses but did not remember.

5. Supreme Court Allows Abortion Pill Access by Mail to Continue (NYT Gift Article)

A federal appeals court ruling against the Food and Drug Administration would have restricted access by mail to mifepristone.

The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that a widely used abortion medication could continue to be prescribed by telehealth and sent to patients by mail.

Two manufacturers of mifepristone had asked the Supreme Court to intervene after the conservative U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit restricted access to the medication nationwide.

The Supreme Court’s brief order means that the Fifth Circuit’s decision will remain blocked, perhaps for months, while litigation continues in the lower courts. The issue could eventually return to the high court.

The majority did not explain the reasons for its ruling, as is often the case when it issues emergency orders. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr., the two most conservative justices, dissented, with Justice Alito calling the majority’s order “remarkable” and complaining that it was “unreasoned.”....

Justice Alito, in his dissent, agreed with the state that its ban had been “thwarted by certain medical providers, private organizations and states that abhor laws like Louisiana’s and seek to undermine their enforcement.” He characterized the shipping of abortion medication into states with strict bans as the “perpetration of a scheme” to undercut the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade, which he noted “restored the right of each state to decide how to regulate abortions within its borders.”

The fact that Alito and Thomas are upset makes me smile

9. Correct!!

Any time Alito and Thomas are the only ones upset, I assume a correct decision has been made!!!

[DFW]

10. We had to give Alito his own music video as well. This is what we came up with:

11. "... to undercut the Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe v. Wade,...."

Alito, Thos & others lied during their "job interview" that Roe v. Wade was settled law. Suck it, boys.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

12. "more abortions now occur each month in Louisiana than they did before Dobbs"

Why do you care Alito?
