Most abortions in the US are obtained by taking medication, usually involving this pill, mifepristone.

It is absolutely outrageous and frustrating.
I think the goal here of the opposition is to try to enact a national abortion ban by any means necessary.
In states with abortion bans, more women in 2025 got abortions using pills prescribed via telehealth from out-of-state doctors versus traveling to places where it's legal, one study shows.
Abortion opponents in states are challenging this method, saying it undermines their abortion laws.

These can be ordered online in about 3 minutes. Um they are sent uh to homes, dorm rooms without talking to, much less seeing, a healthcare provider.
