So Much for Leaving Abortion Up to the States
Louisiana is attempting to block nationwide mail distribution of mifepristone, an abortion medication, by citing the Comstock Act. The FDA had allowed mail delivery of the drug since 2023, but Louisiana argues this violates federal law. The Supreme Court recently sent the case back for review after overturning a lower court's halt to distribution.
