Court Says People Can Still Get Abortion Pills by Mail
Introduction
The Supreme Court of the United States says doctors can still send a medicine called mifepristone by mail.
Main Body
Louisiana wanted to stop this. They said the government made a mistake. They said sending these pills by mail is against an old law. But the Supreme Court disagreed. Seven judges said the current rules are okay for now. Two judges did not agree. Mifepristone is a strong medicine to stop a pregnancy. Doctors use it with another drug. It works very well. Some people use other drugs, but they are not as good. Many people use the internet to get these pills. This is important for people in states where abortion is illegal.
Conclusion
People can still get the medicine online now. But the courts will talk about this again later.
