The battle over the abortion pill has finally reached the Supreme Court. The FDA made the abortion pill more accessible as medicated abortions were spiking and now the Supreme Court is investigating whether or not the FDA made the right decision. The pill allows for more comfort and less embarrassment as well when a woman chooses an abortion. The abortion pill is nearly 10 times more accessible than a traditional procedure, and helps those who are in states where abortion has now become illegal. The good thing is that most people across all political parties back the abortion pill.
Abortion should not have to be a government-regulated issue but rather, an issue that should be taken up between the woman and her doctor. If we continuously support these women and their choice, we can make a change in how abortion is viewed. Getting the abortion pill passed would be a good step to getting abortion legalized again. We need to continue making strides so that they know we won't back down even after the overturning of Roe V. Wade.
