in washington d.c. eyes on the court as they -- on the supreme court as they look at a case on mifepristone. joining us for that is maya goldman, the health care reporter f axios. good morning to you. guest: good morning. thank you for having me. host: could you break down whato do. guest: essentially this case is determining the access to medication abortion. which is how the majority abortions in the country are performed. in a lot of ways it's relitigating access to abortion in the country. more specifically, the case deals with whether the federal government, specifically the f.d.a., was acting lawfully when it loosened restrictions on how people can access medication abortion, mifepristone, the specific pill. in question. and whether the■p f.a followed the appropriate approval.

host: who is bringing up this case? guest: originally inep of anti-s sued the federal government approval of mifepristone, approved in 2000, was inappropriate. they wanted the drug removed from the market entirely. a couple months ago a judge in texas, conservative judge, sided with those doctors. an appeals court quickly said, well, we don't think that this should be entirely removed from the market, but the f.d.a. did unlawfully roll back restrictions in the last couple years. and then the supreme court in december, the f.d.a. and the drugmaker asked the supreme court to take the case up. that's what we are hearing. host: depending on the outcome, what does it mean to access to the drug itself, but the f.d.a.? guest: there are a lot of

implications for today's case. basically for pcess abortions ad medication abortion in mifepristone has been the responsible for the majoritof abortions since the dobbs ruling. this would really curtail access to abortions not just in states where abortion is already illegal, but also in states where abortion is widely accessible. because this would -- if the supreme court sides with doctors that are bringing the case forward, telehealth access tdict off. it's a big deal for access to abortion. it's also a big deal for the hority. this case essentially is unprecedented. it could really undermine as thf

what is safe for patients. experts are worried that this could set a precedent for disgruntled pharmaceutical companies or patients to sue the f.d.a. and overturn approval of drugs. host: has the supreme court ever considered this type of case focusing on a single drug or process by the f.d.a.? guest: not to my knowledge. i this is this is pretty unprecedented. host: as far as watching out for today, the justices will hearat. decision expected later this year s that what's expected? guest: june is when we expect t@ hear about this. this isn't the only abortion case that the supreme court is hearing this year. they are also going to hear a case in i believe late next month on whether hospitals have to provide emergency abortions under federal rule. so this is -- abortion access is

not -- the supreme court is not done talking about abortion access right now. host: in light of this case, if the decision goes for the -- those who reject abortion, what happens on the state level? what could happen on the state level? guest: right now abortion after the dobbs decision is left up to the states. states can decide if abortion is at all available in their states. but this ruling, if supreme court sides with the anti-abortion doctors here, basically it will make it a lot more difficult to access medication abortion because it will say the f.d.a. was not correct when it rolled back restrictionstkw on who could provide, prescribe medication abortions. basically the f.d.a. saidt nonphysician providers could

prescribe it. it could be preskraoeubt in telehealth, laettner a pregnancy, and rolling back those things would make it more difficult to access mifepristone in medication abortion even if your state says this is legal. the messenger: maya goldman reports for axios, their health care reporter on today's supreme court case taking a look at that abortion drug. find her work at the website at axios.com. thanks for your time. again, you can comment on that case. by the way if you are interested in hearing those arguments before the court from those sides presenting the cases, you can do that and stay on this@[ netwk just after 10:00 we'll bring you live audio as it takes place right after 10:00. stay on the network. if you have to misit always go to our website. we have setaside a special site for supreme court oral argument, at c-span.org. follow along on the app as well. on the case, too, in this first hour.
