The Supreme Court said Thursday that ordering the abortion drug mifepristone by mail will be allowed pending the outcome of an appeal challenging the drug’s delivery method.

Two conservative justices on the Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, filed written opinions opposing the decision.
