SCOTUS has temporarily paused a Fifth Circuit Court ruling that echoed the Comstock Act of 1873, an anti-obscenity law.

On May 1, the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked the mailing of mifepristone, a common abortion medication. The ruling restricted distribution and use of the medication to in-person clinic visits only, even as the number of brick-and-mortar abortion clinics has continued to shutter over the past year, and some red states blocked access to mail order pills.
