Supreme Court rejects bid to restrict access to abortion pill

I think a lot of people are surprised by this, but I think it's mostly 9-0 because it wasn't really settled on any merits -- these people just did not have standing to sue.

While SCOTUS has made some questionable rulings in the last several years, they're still going to punt in obvious situations where they can.
