The highest American court speaks the first word of power in the increasingly complex legal dispute over the legality of the drug mifepristone. As long as the dispute over the pill continues, the drug can continue to be used for abortions.

The drug mifepristone will remain on the market in America for the time being. The Supreme Court in Washington on Friday ruled that the ban on the pill that Texas federal judge Matthew Kacsmaryk announced on April 7 was on hold. In his verdict, the judge from the provincial town of Amarillo rejected the approval of the abortion pill, which is also known as RU-486 and is commercially known as Mifegyne. For safety reasons, the regulatory agency should never have allowed the drug for abortions in 2000, he noted two weeks ago. Kacsmaryk granted a short deadline for the implementation of his judgment, which finally expired on Friday.
