Supreme Court Temporarily Blocks Ruling Barring Telehealth And Pharmacy Access To Mifepristone - Health Affairs
The Supreme Court temporarily blocked a lower court ruling that would have restricted telehealth and pharmacy access to mifepristone, maintaining current access pending further litigation.
