The Spin
Left narrative
This might be a ruling to celebrate, but the elation unfortunately could be temporary. While it ruled the plaintiffs had no standing, the conservative wing of SCOTUS left the door open to a future challenge to the FDA's rules regarding mifepristone. This case should have been dismissed because it had so many holes in it — and future challenges should be given that treatment as well.
Right narrative
It's disappointing that SCOTUS hasn't held the FDA accountable. There are concerns that Mifepristone can bring numerous harms to women and doctors — many of whom have been abandoned by pro-abortion factions and the media. But this is just the first ruling, and future challenges to the drug's availability will hopefully lead to tighter restrictions and a safer environment for pregnant women.
