The U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito Jr. issued an order on Monday, May 4, 2026, that allows patients to continue accessing abortion pills by mail as of now. A recent news report sparked all attention.
The news highlighted the abortion pill Mifepristone, which the court previously didn’t allow to be disbursed to patients via mail. The one-sentence order now allows every woman to order and wait for the abortion pills, as ordering through telemedicine is in effect until further notice.
