Getting abortion pills by mail is already more complicated than it might seem
indicating the Supreme Court is likely to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The two-drug regimen of medication abortion, as it's clinically known, has been available since the Food and Drug Administration approved it in 2000. People have been able to get the pills by mail since April 2021, when the FDA suspended enforcement of a requirement that the first pill be administered in person.
"Even though the federal government can say, 'No, we think that it’s fine for providers to prescribe this medication,' states can turn around and say, 'Sure, but we have the authority to regulate what providers do, and we want to make it illegal,'" said Khiara M. Bridges, a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley.
But even today, accessing medication abortion is onerous and complicated in many states, and regulations vary significantly. Getting abortion pills is “really difficult in much of the country, and it may be impossible legally in much of the country relatively soon,” said Wendy Parmet, the director of the Center for Health Policy and Law at Northeastern University.
