The Fifth Circuit’s Political Opinion Is… Meaningless. The Supremes Will Decide This.

Just as we said in April 2023, the only time the long-existing federal rules on the so called abortion pill (FDA approved since early 2000; expanded in 2016) might change… (if at all) is after the Supremes rule, next year, thus:
