Republicans Are Trying to Kill the Abortion Pill. They Don’t Stand a Chance.
Republicans are attempting to restrict access to the abortion pill, mifepristone, but face significant challenges. Despite recent legal actions, the Supreme Court has temporarily blocked new limits on telehealth abortion services, allowing continued access to abortion medications. Health practitioners have developed contingency plans to ensure patients can still obtain the necessary drugs regardless of future court decisions.
- ▪The Supreme Court granted a stay on a 5th Circuit ruling that would limit telehealth abortion services.
- ▪Abortion providers have prepared backup plans to maintain access to abortion medications.
- ▪Telehealth accounted for nearly 40 percent of abortions in some states during the first half of last year.
