While the drug remains available for now, the court reinstated restrictions from 2016, limiting its use to the first seven weeks of pregnancy and pausing distribution by mail. The case is widely expected to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court as states begin stockpiling the medication.

The law is unique for its enforcement mechanism, which allows private citizens to sue those who "aid and abet" an abortion. President Biden and the ACLU criticize the law as a violation of constitutional rights, while some speculate the extreme nature of the bill is a political setup to flip Texas to the Democratic party.
