The Mifepristone Briefs Are In, But One Dog Did Not (Yet) Bark

The article employs measured, analytical language with the literary allusion 'one dog did not (yet) bark' that signals sophisticated commentary rather than advocacy. Framing centers on legal process and institutional competence (FDA role), presenting the absence of an FDA filing as a notable gap in Supreme Court deliberation. The tone is observational about the regulatory apparatus rather than charged toward either abortion access or restrictions.
