The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that the abortion pill mifepristone can continue to be prescribed online or over the phone and sent through the mail.

Full access to the abortion pill mifepristone, including through telemedicine and the mail, will continue for at least three more days, the high court said on Monday.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that mifepristone must be obtained in person, a decision the country’s highest court has temporarily blocked.

The flight attendant, who sued the airline and workers union in 2017, already received nearly $500,000 in damages last week after she was fired for sending anti-abortion pictures to a union leader.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing more out-of-state providers for allegedly shipping abortion medication into Texas. Paxton’s office announced the new lawsuit today Tuesday.

The lawsuit alleges that Debra Lynch violated Texas law by sending the medications mifepristone and misoprostol into the state.

The case centers on the Texas Heartbeat Act, a 2021 law that bans abortions after cardiac activity is detected and lets private citizens enforce the ban through lawsuits.

The court may decide whether a particular challenge to Texas' Senate Bill 8, also known as the Texas Heartbeat Act, has a path forward.

Texas' highest civil court is set to hear and rule on cases dealing with several hot-button issues, including hemp, gender-affirming care and the state's ban on abortions after detection of cardiac activity.

The study looks at abortions received by Texans both in state and out-of-state in the months after Senate Bill 8, a roughly six-week abortion ban, became law in 2021.

Texas’ Planned Parenthood has lost half its clinics, but they continue to see thousands of patients a year.

The announcement of more arrests in the case championed by Paxton comes a month after Maria Rojas, a Houston-area midwife who operated the clinics, was indicted on 15 felony charges stemming from allegations that she performed illegal abortions at the Waller County clinics.
