The Supreme Court issued a stay Friday afternoon on a ruling that would have imposed onerous restrictions on mifepristone, putting it on ice until Wednesday just before midnight.

The Justice Department had filed its request for an emergency administrative stay this morning, in which it was joined by makers of mifepristone, a coalition of blue states and pharmaceutical companies.

Without the high court’s intervention, the lower court order would have gone into effect early Saturday morning.
