Hadassah National President Rhoda Smolow and Hadassah CEO Naomi Adler released the following statement today in response to the United States Supreme Court's recent decision to pause restrictions on Mifepristone from taking effect:

"We are glad to see the Supreme Court's decision that ensures Mifepristone remains accessible and available right now. Mifepristone has been safely used for over 20 years by millions of people in the US and across the world. Hadassah, The Women's Zionist Organization of America, reaffirms its unwavering support for full and complete access to reproductive health services and care. Hadassah will continue to fight for federal and state actions that expand access to all reproductive health care and affirm reproductive freedom."
