Samuel Alito: You Can Have Your Abortion Pills, But Only Until Thursday Justice Samuel Alito has granted a temporary three-day extension, allowing mifepristone to be prescribed and mailed, pausing a Fifth Circuit ruling that would require in-person dispensing. The article argues that the in-person requirement lacks medical necessity and is driven by anti-abortion sentiments, highlighting the safety of mail distribution and existing laws against coercion. Additionally, it discusses efforts in Kansas to undermine abortion rights through judicial elections and the launch of the ‘Moms.gov’ website by the Trump administration, which promotes crisis pregnancy centers.

• Justice Samuel Alito has temporarily halted a ruling that would restrict mifepristone prescriptions and mailing, granting a three-day extension.
• The Fifth Circuit’s ruling would reinstate in-person dispensing requirements for mifepristone, a measure the article argues is medically unnecessary and politically motivated.
• The article contends that the argument of coercion in abortion cases is addressed by existing laws and that restricting access based on potential misuse is illogical.
• In Kansas, abortion foes are attempting to circumvent a statewide vote protecting abortion rights by pushing for elected Supreme Court justices who may rule conservatively.
• The Trump administration launched ‘Moms.gov,’ a website criticized for promoting crisis pregnancy centers that dissuade women from having abortions.
