(Washington, DC) — The Supreme Court is expected to issue its ruling on access to a commonly used abortion pill Friday. The decision is set to come after the court extended a temporary stay on a Texas federal judge’s ruling to halt production and distribution of mifepristone [[mif-uh PRIS tone ]]. The drug was originally approved by the FDA in 2000 and has been used by over five-million women since. A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll found 51-percent of Americans say the Supreme Court should reverse the Texas judge’s ruling and prevent any changes to access to the abortion pill. Only 22-percent of those surveyed said the High Court should ban the drug in all 50 states.
