WASHINGTON, United States — The US Supreme Court on Friday temporarily preserved access to a widely-used abortion pill, in an 11th-hour ruling preventing lower court restrictions on the drug from coming into force. The nation's highest court issued an 'administrative stay' freezing the rulings until Wednesday to allow for parties in the case to submit their arguments, in the latest salvo in America's battle over reproductive rights. The stay came after the Justice Department filed an emergency appeal asking the Supreme Court to block the lower court rulings that would have banned or limited use of the drug mifepristone from 1:00 am Eastern Time on Saturday.
