The Supreme Court will hear oral argument on Mar. 26 in the battle over access to a drug used in medication abortions, which account for over half of all abortions performed in the United States. The justices on Monday morning released the calendar for their March argument sitting, which begins on Mar. 18 and ends on Mar. 27.

The argument in Food and Drug Administration v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine and Danco Laboratories v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, which will be heard together, headlines the March calendar. It is the first time since the court’s 2022 ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, overturning the constitutional right to an abortion, that the justices will weigh in on the issue of abortion.

[The court had already agreed to hear arguments in these cases, but it’s interesting to see them schedule this in a month already chock-full of high-profile challenges. Also, I don’t get a chance to link to Howe and SCOTUSblog often enough. They are a great resource when decisions start getting published in the final few weeks of the term. — Ed]
