FDA Lifts Key Restriction on Abortion Pill

“The Biden administration Thursday ended a long-standing restriction on a medication used to terminate early-stage pregnancies,” the Washington Post reports.

“The elimination of the regulation, which had been temporarily suspended, means abortion pills can be prescribed through telehealth consultations and mailed to patients. But in large swaths of the nation, strict state rules will dampen the impact. Several states ban sending the drug by mail and impose other restrictions on use of the pill.”
