3 states renew their effort to reduce access to the abortion drug mifepristone

The video discusses a lawsuit filed by anti-abortion doctors and advocates seeking to restrict access to mifepristone. The court ruled that the plaintiffs lacked standing as they couldn't prove direct harm. Missouri, Idaho, and Kansas have refiled the lawsuit with a new argument, claiming harm to their states due to potential population loss affecting political representation and federal funding. The video highlights Missouri's high teen pregnancy rates and restrictive abortion laws, including a trigger ban allowing abortions only for life-threatening issues. Despite these restrictions, abortions in Missouri have been decreasing over the years.
