mifeprestone

A North Texas man charged with capital murder after slipping mifepristone into his girlfriend's food signals another attempt to rein in abortion pills.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey filed a lawsuit in 2023 along with attorneys general from Kansas and Idaho aimed at overturning guidelines for greater access to the medication abortion pill. The Trump administration will defend an earlier decision that affirms those guidelines.

The case is set to test states' conflicting abortion laws, a battle that could rise to the U.S. Supreme Court.
