Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum spoke in front of the U.S. Supreme Court building as arguments were being presented inside to allow access to the abortion medication mifepristone.

Justices are reviewing an appeals court decision blocking recent FDA changes that made the medication more widely available.

Rosenblum spoke alongside New York Attorney General Letitia James. Rosenblum says mifepristone is part of a gold standard of care for medication abortion.

"It was an honor to be with so many champions of reproductive justice on the front lines of the fight for access to essential health care,” said AG Rosenblum. "The energy was infectious and gave me hope and renewed energy for the continued fight."

“Mifepristone is part of the gold standard of care for medication abortion, and we will not compromise on that,” AG Rosenblum said at the rally. " Here we are-- in 2024---confronting real threats to reproductive freedom, once again. Without access [to safe medication] there is simply no such freedom." 

The high court could issue a decision this summer.
