The Biden campaign is taking offense ahead of the controversial Supreme Court hearing over the commonly used abortion pill mifepristone, advising that the decision could be "disastrous" if abortion rights are to play a central role in the 2024 election. On Tuesday, March 26, the case between FDA and Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine will be heard before the country's top court. It appears that FDA is considering changing regulations on prescribing the drug used in more than half of abortions in the United States. The court's ruling could have the most significant effect on abortion coverage nationally after the Supreme Court reversed Roe v Wade, effectively ending the national right to an abortion in 2022. If the court allows exceptions on the abortion pill that has been derogeled, it will not only impact states where abortion has been banned since Roe, but also states that have moved to protect and expand abortion rights.

Six Republican states and two borrowers, who argued Biden should have sought permission from Congress for a program that required substantial taxpayer funding, were among the lawsuits.

Analysts have reported that egg prices have dropped to just $0.94 a dozen after hitting a low of $5.46 last December.
