Cases and Controversies

Supreme Court Abortion Pill Argument Light on Merits


Listen Later

Arguments in the challenge to the abortion drug mifepristone suggest the Supreme Court will nix the dispute on technical standing grounds.

Justices from across the ideological spectrum suggested the anti-abortion doctors at the center of the case were asking too much.

Cases and Controversies hosts run through the lopsided arguments that focused little on the merits and almost exclusively on whether the doctors could prevent access to the drug nationwide.

They also discuss how the Supreme Court’s action—or inaction—means South Carolina can use an unconstitutional voting map in the upcoming election.
