Corte Suprema Usa mantiene pieno accesso a pillola abortiva

La decisione all'unanimità
epa11276895 The oral abortion pills Mifepristone and Misoprostol are prepared with directions for a patient at the Acacia Women's Center in Phoenix, Arizona, USA, 12 April 2024 (issued 13 April 2024). Mifepristone, when used together with Misoprostol, is used to end a pregnancy through ten weeks gestation. Patients take the first dose of Mifepristone in the office under doctor supervision, then take the remaining Misoprostol 24 hours later at home. Dr. Ronald Yunis was scheduled to perform 17 surgical abortions and four pill abortions at the clinic on 12 April. On 09 April 2024, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that an 1864 abortion law, which pre-dates Arizona's statehood and provides no exceptions for rape or incest and allows abortions after six weeks only if the mother's life is in jeopardy, was enforceable. The opinion by Arizona's highest court suggested doctors can be prosecuted under the 1864 law, with the risk of 2-5 years jail time. Fourteen other US states have banned nearly all abortions since the US Supreme Court in 2022 overturned the constitutional right to abortion. Dr. Yunis doesn't know when the law will take effect and how long it will stay in place before it could be repealed. He says it is hard because he doesn't know what to tell women when they are trying to schedule their appointments. Right now, they have to come in and have the procedure as soon as possible, since any day now they may no longer be able to, he says. EPA/ALLISON DINNER ATTENTION: This Image is part of a PHOTO SET

NEW YORK, 13 GIU - La Corte Suprema americana mantiene il pieno accesso alla pillola abortiva mifepristone. I saggi all'unanimità hanno respinto la sentenza in appello che avrebbe vietato la vendita per corrispondenza del mifepristone. Lo riportano i media americani. La decisione della Corte Suprema è una vittoria per le associazione pro-scelta in quanto respinge il tentativo di gruppi anti-aborto e di medici, ritenuti non legittimati a contestare il processo di approvazione del mifepristone da parte della Food and Drug Administration. "Le corti federali sono il forum sbagliato per affrontare le preoccupazione sulla Food and Drug Administration. I timori e le preoccupazioni vanno espresse al presidente e alla Fda, o al Congresso", ha scritto il giudice Brett Kavanaugh spiegando la decisione della Corte Suprema. "Concordo pienamente con l'opinione della Corte perché applica correttamente i nostri precedenti", ha aggiunto il giudice Clarence Thomas. Il tentativo di limitare l'accesso alla pillola abortiva, usata nella maggioranza degli aborti negli Stati Uniti, è uno degli ultimi fronti di scontro sull'accesso all'aborto. (ANSA).
