Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : In late April, the supreme court blocked court-ordered restrictions on mifepristone while a lawsuit brought by anti-abortion groups targeting the pill continues.
58% : The ADF is thought to have chosen to file the lawsuit in Amarillo, Texas, specifically so it would appear before Kacsmaryk, who is known for his anti-abortion views, and employed anti-abortion rhetoric throughout his decision, referring to mifepristone as a drug used to "kill the unborn human".
50% : Some of the main abortion providers - including Planned Parenthood, Carafem and Abortion Delivered - have confirmed that they are prepared to prescribe a misoprostol-only regimen for abortions in the event of mifepristone being pulled off the market.
49% : Access to the drug remains unchanged in states where abortion is still legal while the case proceeds.
43% : If Comstock is ultimately affirmed as good law, it would have sweeping impacts on abortion in the US, as it could also be read to ban the mailing of any instrument used to perform abortions.
40% : Fourteen states have banned abortion in the last 11 months, but new restrictions on the pill would apply even in states where the procedure is still allowed.
39% : Even a supreme court ruling should have little impact in states where abortion is already banned: neither misoprostol nor mifepristone has been legally available for abortions in these states since bans came into place after the fall of Roe.
37% : Other anti-abortion activists have made similar efforts to bring back the law, viewing it as a possible avenue for banning abortion nationwide.
35% : Many are already under strain from an increase in patients traveling from states where abortion is banned or heavily restricted.
