People who live in states that impose restrictions on abortion are resorting to ordering pills online to induce abortions at home, for the affordability and convenience, and for some, out of desperation.
WASHINGTON — K.T. Volkova got a positive pregnancy test just days before Texas' controversial law banning most abortions took effect.
“It was almost like an online shopping experience with a customer service representative,” Volkova said. “I personally would say it was maybe even easier than having to go to an actual clinic.” “The surge and interest in our website and visits to our abortion pill finder service that we offer is an indication that people really are looking to understand all of their options," Wells said."So I think there's quite a bit of interest in this."
While the Food and Drug Administration during the Trump administration demanded that Aid Access cease and desist its shipments of abortion pills, there is little the government can do to prevent the transactions, experts say. It would be completely impractical for the government to try to seize the packages given that millions of Americans routinely flout the U.S. prohibition on imports of most drugs, they say.
