Federal appeals court preserves access to abortion pill but tightens rules

AUSTIN, Texas  — A federal appeals court ruled that the abortion pill mifepristone can still be used for now but reduced the period of pregnancy when the drug can be taken and said it could not be dispensed by mail.The decision late Wednesday temporarily narrowed a ruling by a lower court judge in Texas that had completely blocked the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the nation’s most commonly used method of abortion.

Wade resulted in more than a dozen states effectively banning abortion outright.The case is likely to go to the U.S. Supreme Court.“We are going to continue to fight in the courts, we believe the law is on our side, and we will prevail,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Thursday, speaking to reporters from Dublin during a visit by President Joe Biden.Mifepristone was approved for use...

It began earlier this month, but it's only grown in intensity and scale, affecting more and more homes.While this normally occurs during years of heavy rains like this one, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is also letting water out of a nearby dam, though it has not been confirmed if that release of water is contributing to the groundwater seepage.
