Supreme Court Suggests It Will Back Access to Abortion Pill
- Justices question whether abortion foes have standing to sue
- Court hears its first abortion clash since overturning Roe

Taking up the divisive issue for the first time since overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade decision in 2022, key justices on Tuesday voiced wariness about a legal attack on mifepristone, a drug now used in more than half the nation’s abortions.
