The United States Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously rejected a challenge to the abortion pill mifepristone, meaning the drug, which is used in more than half of abortions nationwide along with another drug, misoprostol, will remain widely available in states where abortion is legal.

The case, Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. US Food and Drug Administration, was the first time the right-wing Court has heard a case relating to abortion access since its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. The lawsuit was filed by a group of anti-abortion organizations and doctors who sought to reverse the FDA’s 2000 approval of mifepristone—or at least limit access to the drug.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh, writing on behalf of the Supreme Court, wrote that while the plaintiffs did not have standing to sue over the FDA’s regulation of mifepristone, “it is not clear that no one else would have standing to challenge the FDA’s relaxed regulation of mifepristone.”
