## Resource

Next week, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals will hear a landmark case that could reshape nationwide access to abortion medication. Louisiana seeks to overturn Biden-era telehealth rules allowing mifepristone—used for abortions and miscarriage management—to be prescribed remotely without in-person visits. This policy, expanded during the pandemic and critical since Roe’s fall, enables people in restrictive states to obtain the drug. If Louisiana wins, it could set a precedent for enforcing state abortion bans nationwide. The Supreme Court previously paused an earlier attempt to reinstate in-person requirements, leaving this decision pivotal. With live proceedings and national attention, the outcome may soon return to the Supreme Court—and could redefine reproductive healthcare access across America.
