[quote=Anonymous]The good news is that they are using some of the same logic that they used to overturn the Colorado ruling vs Trump here.

First, they are checking standing and questioning whether any of the doctors on the case were actually affected by the women who they are apparently trying to block from getting the drug.  The argument is that women who take the drug can have complications and would have to have emergency medical support.  But apparently none of the doctors on the suit actually treated any such patient.  The justices have asked the lawyer representing the doctors to bring forth a doctor who had to treat such a patient.

Secondly, the justices are questioning, like in the Colorado ruling, how a single or small handful of local instances of this issues should have a nation-wide effect.  Why does one doctor in one state having this issue cause a nationwide restriction on access to the medication that was approved by the FDA.  In most medical cases, single instance issues are not addressed by sweeping rulings against the medication, but are treated as single instances of malpractice or insurance.  It takes a known group of such cases that display a repeatable effect that would cause such a wide-scale response and the justices are pointing out that there is no such example of multiple instances of patients having complications that require extensive medical care to treat.

So, from the questions from the justices and the lack of suitable responses from the lawyers representing the doctors, this doesn't look very promising for banning the medication from sale.  It doesn't look like the conservative right is going to get this one through.[/quote]
