A federal appeals court upheld parts of a decision restricting access to abortion pill mifepristone. The ruling will not have immediate impact on the availability of the drug, but it will tee up future legal tangles, NBC News Correspondent Laura Jarrett reports.

  1. Regarding the Fifth Circuit Ruling today of Mifepristone: Since the Fifth Circuit Judges have no slightest knowledge of medicine, side effects and mortality statistics, or FDA approval. I do. I will be showing up Monday morning at your court to take over your judgeship moving forward. After all, rules and regulations of law are trivial bookwork.

  2. Don’t want an abortion then don’t get one.

  3. Almost 1,000,000 abortions annually that’s a lot of dead Americans

  4. Long after the time had passed for male GOP officials to stop, to just stop, pretending they know or understand anything about female anatomy, reproductive organs, medical emergencies and basic preventative health care, they have continued to talk. They have continued to talk and talk and talk even when the massive blowback after the Dobbs decision proved it was an error; Kansas proved it was an error; and after the surprise election of Pat Ryan in a New York special election proved it was an error. Every time a Republican man opens his mouth to talk about women’s bodies, ten new female voters get their wings. Yet somehow, they cannot seem to stop themselves!

  5. Ahh, of course Republicans were coming for birth control next. It was never about "saving babies"

  6. For crying out loud the war on women must stop !!! Abortion is health care plain and simple lawmakers have no business butting into medical decisions….voteblue

  7. If there are any Americans who actually want to live in a FREE country, try Canada or Europe… clearly the US is on its way to becoming a Theocracy.
