CA Attorney General Bonta Urged U.S. Supreme Court to Protect Telehealth Access to Mifepristone, Welcomes Temporary Halt of Fifth Circuit Ruling

ChaseMay 22, 2026

Co-leading a coalition of 22 attorneys general and the Governor of Pennsylvania, California Attorney General Rob Bonta this morning urged the U.S. Supreme Court to halt a recent appellate decision that would restrict access to mifepristone, a safe and effective abortion medication, by reinstating a medically unnecessary requirement that it be dispensed in person. In an amicus brief filed with the Supreme Court, Attorney General Bonta and the coalition argue that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit’s May 1, 2026 ruling is not supported by science, would create regulatory and administrative chaos nationwide, and would interfere with states’ ability to protect access to reproductive health care within their borders.
