The Supreme Court ruled this week to reinstate a restriction that requires people to access the abortion pill in person during the pandemic. An order from a federal judge previously halted the requirement, but the Supreme Court decided to lift that order, Reuters reports, which will make it that much more difficult for people to access abortion care.
Back in July, U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang in Maryland ruled that the in-person requirements âplace a substantial obstacle in the path of women seeking a medication abortionâ and may even violate their constitutional rights. But this week, at the Trump Administrationâs request, the Supreme Court revisited the case and ultimately decided that the requirement should stay, despite the fact that the pandemic rages on.

Should pregnant women get the COVID-19 vaccine? FOX 26 Reporter Damali Keith goes looking for answers
HOUSTON - One question asked repeatedly since the COVID-19 Vaccine became available ’should I get the vaccine if I’m pregnant?’ is not being taken lightly by a Houston healthcare worker. Kristin Malaer s research has been extensive. The Memorial Hermann Hospital Social Worker works with heart and lung transplant patients. The patient population that I serve does have a compromised immune system, Malaer said.
Malaer is seven months pregnant. So she has put in work finding out everything possible, regarding expecting mom s receiving the COVID-19 Vaccine.
