Contrary to media hype and fundraising clickbait, the abortion pills case before the Supreme Court cannot result in the banning of chemical abortion. In fact, if the questions during the oral argument forecast the decision, the high court is more likely to reverse the 5th Circuit's order which would have temporarily reinstated pre-2016 safe-use protocols for abortion pills.
