The Supreme Court said Wednesday it will consider whether to restrict access to a widely used abortion drug — even in states where the procedure is still allowed.

The case concerns the drug mifepristone that — when coupled with another drug — is one of the most common abortion methods in the United States.

The decision means the conservative-leaning court will again wade into the abortion debate after overturning Roe v. Wade last year, altering the landscape of abortion rights nationwide and triggering more than half the states to outlaw or severely restrict the procedure.

    The FDA is not in the constitution.

    It explicitly has authority from the government to regulate things.

    A panel of judges assigned in duty by the constitution is not given its authority from the same body as the FDA.

    If you do not understand why youre comparing apples and lemons, you should leave the conversations to the adults.
