Supreme Court rules in abortion medication case, finds group lacked standing to challenge FDA approval
Fox News
The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that challengers the FDA's approval process of the abortion drug mifepristone lacked standing to sue the government.
"Under Article III of the Constitution, a plaintiff's desire to make a drug less available for others does not establish standing to sue. Nor do the plaintiffs' other standing theories suffice," Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote, who authored the unanimous opinion. Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"The plaintiffs have sincere legal, moral, ideological, and policy objections to elective abortion and to FDA’s relaxed regulation of mifepristone," he said. "But under Article III of the Constitution, those kinds of objections alone do not establish a justiciable case or controversy in federal court."
