Abortion Pill Mifepristone Has Its Day(s) In Court

Health Affairs' Leslie Erdelack and Jessica Bylander discuss the
large amount of news and controversy over the abortion pill
mifepristone as the drug's 2000 approval -- and subsequent
changes to how patients can access it -- make their way through
the courts.


NOTE: This episode was recorded in the afternoon
of April 13, 2023, shortly before the Justice Department
requested the Supreme Court to restore access to the
mifepristone.
