Danco Laboratories, the drugmaker of the abortion pill mifepristone, has asked the Supreme Court to review a lower court's decision limiting access to the pill, the company announced in a news release Friday.

Last month, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued a ruling that allowed the pill to remain legal, but with significant hurdles to patient access. The Fifth Circuit upheld the Food and Drug Administration's approval of the widely used pill, but said actions the FDA took in recent years to make the pill easier to obtain went too far.

"It was driving from Albuquerque up to Seattle that I got three very serious speeding tickets," he said.
