Whiplash over remote access to abortion medication nationwide
The U.S. Supreme Court temporarily allowed telehealth access to abortion medication nationwide while Louisiana's lawsuit against the FDA continues. The FDA had permitted remote prescriptions for mifepristone in 2023, but the 5th Circuit Court initially blocked it, citing state abortion bans. Other states like Florida, Oklahoma, Texas, and Iowa have laws restricting mail delivery of abortion pills.
