The Supreme Court was expected to announce Friday whether access to the abortion pill mifepristone would remain legal while a challenge to its approval continues.
Justices were weighing a lower-court decision that would restrict the pill, which is the most common abortion method in the U.S.
The decision was supposed to come Wednesday. An order from Justice Samuel Alito gave justices two more days to consider it.
The case is the first to reach the Supreme Court since it ruled on Roe v. Wade in 2022. The court’s ruling allowed states to ban abortion outright.
