Court rulings on abortion pill access have brought the issue back into the spotlight ahead of the midterm elections. A federal appeals court restricted mail access to mifepristone prescriptions, but the Supreme Court temporarily restored broad access to the drug. Abortion rights groups are strategizing ways to reach voters who may be motivated to turn out for Democrats due to the possibility of further restrictions. Abortion opponents are warning that the GOP-led federal government hasn't done enough to ban the pills, potentially causing Republican voters to sit out future elections. The issue may affect the outcome of races this year, with Democrats seeing an opportunity to drive historic turnout.
