In-Person Requirements, Mifepristone, Pandemic, Empathy for Women, Sonia Sotomayor

“Maintaining the FDA's in-person requirements for mifepristone during the pandemic not only treats abortion exceptionally, it imposes an unnecessary, irrational and unjustifiable undue burden on women seeking to exercise their right to choose. One can only hope that the Government will reconsider and exhibit great care and empathy for women.” - Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissenting to the majority's ruling that the Food and Drug Administration may prevent women from receiving abortion pills by mail.
