Justice Samuel Alito temporarily paused lower court orders restricting the abortion pill in an order Friday.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) asked the Supreme Court to intervene in the case Friday morning, requesting a stay on Northern District of Texas Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s order suspending the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the abortion pill. Alito granted a five-day administrative stay until Wednesday next week, allowing the court more time to make a decision on the request.
Previously, the Fifth Circuit partially blocked Judge Kacsmaryk’s order, upholding FDA approval but restricting rules implemented after 2016, which allowed the distribution of the pill via mail and extended the latest point it could be used in pregnancy to 10 weeks.
