Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings teamed up with officials from 22 other states and Washington D.C. to challenge federal court restrictions on access to mifepristone, an abortion medication, prompting the U.S. Supreme Court to block those limitations.
The multi-state coalition petitioned the nation’s highest court to halt a decision from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals that would have limited availability of the medication that advocates describe as both safe and effective.
Following the advocacy efforts by Jennings and her counterparts across the country, the Supreme Court granted the request and issued a stay preventing the restrictions from taking effect.
