Dozens of ‘friend of the court’ briefs backing abortion pill access arrive at Supreme Court

The groups include governors, attorneys general, state lawmakers and members of Congress as well as medical organizations, civil rights groups and pharmaceutical companies — all of whom argue the justices’ ruling will have significant effects on American society and health care.
