Several doctors’ groups have filed court papers with the U.S. Supreme Court that ask the justices to strike down the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of the abortion drug mifepristone.

The Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine and other physician groups stated in a Supreme Court petition last week that the health agency approved the drug under a process that was designed for drugs meant to treat illnesses. They said pregnancy is a “natural process that many women experience,” and not an illness.
