BREAKING UPDATE: Today, the U.S. Supreme Court granted a stay of an order issued by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in Louisiana v. FDA. The FDA’s current rules, which allow people to receive mifepristone by mail or pharmacy, are now in place as the case proceeds on the merits.

As the Senate holds a hearing today amplifying anti-science rhetoric about the safety of mifepristone, it’s critical to ground this conversation in evidence rather than misinformation.

State Court Report @statecourtreport.org · 08/12/2025

NEW: A majority of the North Dakota Supreme Court said the state's abortion ban was unconstitutional, but ND's rule requiring a 4-vote supermajority to strike down a law resulted in the originalist minority's view winning out. @uclarepropolicy.bsky.social's Diana Kasdan and Amanda Barrow explain:

How Originalism Revived an Abortion Ban a Majority of the North Dakota Supreme Court Held Unconstitutional

Although three of the five justices on the court concluded the ban violated state due process rights, a state rule requiring a supermajority to strike down a law means the dissenting opinion controls.
