SCOTUS abortion pill ruling - Overdose antidote's price - Chile to nationalize lithium

Source: Kaiser Family Foundation

1. Summary
   In an unsigned order, the Supreme Court ruled that the abortion drug mifepristone can remain available in the US while legal battles play out in lower courts. The FDA approved mifepristone in 2000. The Supreme Court's order stays a ruling from District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, which had revoked the FDA's approval of the drug. His ruling also stayed the FDA's subsequent relaxation of in-person dispensing requirements.
   
   The Biden administration and mifepristone producer Danco Laboratories appealed Kacsmaryk's ruling. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals partially acquiesced, but allowed some of Kacsmaryk's order to remain in effect. The administration urged the Supreme Court to step in, saying upholding Kacsmaryk's ruling would have "sweeping consequences for the pharmaceutical industry."
   
   Justice Alito issued a lone public dissent, saying there was good reason to think the Biden administration would have disobeyed a lower court's ruling. It is unclear how the other justices voted.
