NEW: Supreme Court unanimously strikes down lawsuit challenging FDA approval of abortion pill

In a unanimous decision delivered on Thursday, the Supreme Court struck down a lawsuit challenging the abortion pill mifepristone.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh delivered the opinion for the court, with Justice Clarence Thomas delivering the concurring opinion. The court stated that the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine did not have standing to bring forth the challenge over the federal Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the medication and the agency’s actions to ease access to the drug.

Kavanaugh wrote that "federal courts are the wrong forum for addressing the plaintiffs’ concerns about FDA’s actions."

"Plaintiffs are pro-life, oppose elective abortion, and have sincere legal, moral, ideological, and policy objections to mifepristone being prescribed and used by others," Kavanaugh wrote in the ruling. "Because plaintiffs do not prescribe or use mifepristone, plaintiffs are unregulated parties who seek to challenge FDA’s regulation of others."
