The Supreme Court on Friday temporarily restored access to the abortion pill mifepristone, but only until Wednesday, in order to further review a lower court decision which banned the country’s most popular abortion method just one week earlier. Meanwhile, The Washington Post reported that Matthew Kacsmaryk, the conservative, Trump-appointed judge who issued the ban on mifepristone, removed his name as the author of an anti-abortion and anti-trans law review article and did not disclose the article to the Senate Judiciary Committee as he was going through the judicial nomination process. Rallies to defend abortion rights took place across the U.S. over the weekend.
