Restricting Access to Remote Abortion Medication

The blocking of telehealth prescriptions and mail-order delivery of mifepristone restricts access to abortion medication, particularly in states with limitations or prohibitions on abortion. This change reinstates the requirement for in-person prescription and dispensing, potentially limiting access to abortion services. The restriction affects the use of remote prescribing and mail-order dispensing as a means to bypass state-specific abortion limitations.
