Justices seem skeptical of challenge to restrict access to abortion pill

A majority of justices on the U.S. Supreme Court appeared skeptical Tuesday of arguments that a medical group challenging the FDA’s regulatory actions making abortion pills more accessible had standing to bring suit.

Justice Elena Kagan, appointed by President Obama, asked Erin Hawley, the lawyer for the anti-abortion group, who was injured by the pill. “You need a person,” she said.” Who’s your person?”
