Drug Company Appeals to Supreme Court Over Abortion Pill Mail Access Block

A pharmaceutical manufacturer has turned to the nation’s highest court for help after losing the ability to ship abortion medication through the mail.

On Saturday, Danco Laboratories submitted an emergency request to the U.S. Supreme Court, asking justices to halt an appeals court decision that suspended postal delivery of mifepristone, a medication used to terminate pregnancies.

The company is seeking to overturn the temporary restriction that prevents patients from receiving the abortion drug via mail order services.
