Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall said he was disappointed in a decision by the United States Supreme Court on Friday to allow an abortion pill to stay on the market but "confident the appeals process will reinforce that President Biden lacked the authority to enact a dangerous mail-order abortion regime."
According to the Wall Street Journal, the Supreme Court's action wasn't a decision on the merits of the case; instead, the justices were deciding whether the abortion pill could remain available during a continuing legal challenge brought by pro-life groups. Two justices indicated they would have left the lower court order in place: Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
"While I am disappointed that the stay has remained in place, I am confident the appeals process will reinforce that President Biden lacked the authority to enact a dangerous mail-order abortion regime," Marshall said in a statement. "As the last line of defense against President Biden's radical agenda, I will continue to do everything in my power to protect mothers and the life of the unborn."
The U.S. Supreme Court's decision comes after the Biden Administration appealed a U.S. Federal District Court decision halting the Federal Drug Administration's approval of chemical abortions as well as its removal of important safety measures associated with the administration of abortion pills.
