Restricting access to #mifepristone, including through telehealth with out-of-state providers, has been a top priority for #Republican-led states that have banned #abortion.
Nearly half of states have banned or severely restricted abortion since #SCOTUS rolled back its recognition of a #woman's constitutional right to the procedure in 2022. That has driven a surge in #MedicationAbortion, which has spurred a series of legal battles over #access to the drugs.

Some states, including Illinois and Colorado…

The unpopularity of #SCOTUS’ decision even in some #conservative states made it a political liability for #Republicans during mid-term elections in 2022.
#Abortion #access is now almost non-existent in Southern states, forcing tens of thousands of #women to cross state lines for #abortions, & sparking a rise in #MedicationAbortion.

#SCOTUS could also further impede #abortion #access for those living in one of the >15 states w/a strict #AbortionBan in place. A few telemedicine clinics have started allowing US-based doctors to prescribe & mail pills into restricted states, relying on new “#ShieldLaws” passed in several blue states to protect them from prosecution. The largest of these clinics, Aid Access, now mails ~6k doses of #MedicationAbortion into antiabortion states every month, acc/to founder Rebecca Gomperts.

12 states have a near-total ban on abortion in effect (Al, AR, ID , KY, LA , MI, MO, OK, SD, TN, TX and WV). Providers in WI have been forced to stop offering abortion care because of uncertainty about the state’s abortion law. All of these states have separate laws limiting the provision of medication abortion, although these are not currently applicable because providers have stopped offering all abortion care. 15 states restrict access to #medicationabortion.
