Two of the studies cited in a ruling that suspended federal approval of the abortion pill mifepristone were retracted by a medical journal earlier this week. The Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in March on the case -- about access to mifepristone, the drug used in medication abortions -- which cited the studies. Along with some other key findings, the cited study alleged that "chemical abortion significantly increased the risk of an emergency room visit."
