The Justice Department on Friday asked the Supreme Court to allow unrestricted access. A federal judge in Texas issued an order to invalidate the U.S.

Food and Drug Administration's approval. The decision makes access to abortion even more complicated in the world's leading power. The possible restriction of the abortion pill even in states where abortion remains legal is part of a conservative scourge that has been gaining ground in much of the country after the repeal of Roe v. Wade, the case that protected abortion rights since 1973.
