  • Following the filing of a lawsuit by the State of Louisiana that sought to reverse the FDA’s 2023 changes to abortion pill regulations, the Fifth Circuit paused mail order dispensing.
  • The abortion pill manufacturer Danco Laboratories filed an emergency application before the Supreme Court on May 2, requesting a stay be placed on the Fifth Circuit’s decision.
  • The Supreme Court granted that request, allowing the abortion pill to be shipped through the mail again until at least May 11. It then extended the stay until May 14.
