Most abortions in the US are obtained through medications, usually a combination of mifepristone and a second drug, misoprostol. Their availability has blunted the impact of abortion bans that most Republican-led states have started enforcing since a 2022 Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade, and allowed for state bans.
Louisiana sued to restrict access to mifepristone, asserting that its availability undermined the ban there.
