SCOTUS rejects challenge to abortion pill for lack of standing

The anti-abortion defendants are not injured by the FDA's actions on mifepristone.

@arstechnica SCOTUS seems to flip-flop on standing and stare decisus

@arstechnica Now if SCOTUS could just figure out that abortion doesn’t injure anti-abortion busybodies as long as no one is making them have one.

That’s crazy talk, of course.

@arstechnica Thank you for writing a headline that makes clear this was dismissed on standing, not merit! Absolutely hate the misleading oversimplification rampant in media you've avoided here.

The Supreme Court did not rule on Mifeprestone. It did not legalize Mifeprestone. It did not uphold any laws guaranteeing access to Mifeprestone. It simply made a technical ruling on whether these litigants had standing to bring suit.

Thank you for helping to make this clear, right up front.

@arstechnica
Not sure how this case made it to the Supreme Court in the first place. I feel like that should be what voters focus on. 🤔

@arstechnica Don’t worry. There will be a suit real soon now that seeks to establish standing on behalf of sperm and ova.

@arstechnica When THIS Supreme Court can't support something that would help anti-abortionists, you KNOW the legal standing is bad!
