The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday blocked new restrictions set by lower courts on a widely-used abortion pill, mifepristone, delivering a victory to President Joe Biden's administration as it defends broad access to the drug in the latest fierce legal battle over reproductive rights in the United States.

The justices, in a brief order, granted emergency requests by the Justice Department and the pill's manufacturer Danco Laboratories to put on hold an April 7 preliminary injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk in Texas. The judge's order would greatly limit the availability of mifepristone while litigation proceeds in a challenge by anti-abortion groups to its federal regulatory approval. Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito publicly dissented.

"Advocates for reproductive health and a strong FDA won a battle with this ruling, but… there is a long war ahead," said Ammet Sarpatwari, assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.

Biden's administration is seeking to defend mifepristone in the face of mounting abortion bans and restrictions enacted by Republican-led states since the Supreme Court in June 2022 overturned the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that had legalized the procedure nationwide.
