Federal Court Rules To Prohibit Access To Abortion Pill: Supreme Court To Weigh In
Portfolio Pulse from Aaron Bry
The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled to prohibit access to the abortion pill, mifepristone, in a case against the FDA. The ruling will not take effect until the Supreme Court weighs in, potentially next year. This could increase demand for birth control pills from companies like Pfizer Inc, Merck & Co Inc, and Johnson & Johnson.
