I wouldn’t have known about this had I not see it reported on in RawStory:

… Study cited by Texas judge in abortion pill case retracted.

I looked it up on Google News and saw that the report coming from Sage Journals was only reported on by two other news media, The Nebraska Examiner (link below) and Daily Wire.

Here’s The Daily Wire article.

This is the kind of story that can easily slip under the media radar. I think it would be interesting to determine how it even made it into the publications that have covered the story so far.

UPDATE: Salon published this on Feb. 8th:

Three “junk science” abortion pill studies were just retracted. Will the Supreme Court notice?

“I hope that this will make people more careful about when they cite studies,” one lawyer told Salon

Below is the link to the retraction notice from Sage Journals:

The Supreme Court announced it will hear oral arguments on how patients can access mifepristone on March 26.

One can’t underestimate the determental effects of a Supreme Court ruling which bans Mifepristone to the several hundred thousand women who use this method to terminate a pregnancy each year.
