The Supreme Court has issued a temporary stay on a lower court ruling in a dispute involving the Food and Drug Administration's approval of the abortion pill mifepristone. The order requires both sides to weigh in by Tuesday and preserves access to the drug for now. The court will take time to more fully consider the issues raised in the court challenge before making a final decision, though it is unclear when they will make a final ruling.

The Supreme Court has ruled against West Virginia officials in a case involving a law that bans transgender athletes from competing on female sports teams. The law, challenged by 12-year-old transgender girl Becky Pepper-Jackson, cannot be enforced while the case is being litigated. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented from the court's decision, which is the latest in a series of rulings that have favored transgender rights. The court is expected to issue a ruling in a separate case involving transgender rights later this year.
