BREAKING: SCOTUS Gives Anti-Abortion Extremists Cover Just Months Before Midterms

Medication abortion to remain available via telehealth and mail (for now)  

WASHINGTON, DC –– Today, the US Supreme Court temporarily paused the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals’ May 1 ruling that prohibited patients from receiving abortion medication by mail or at a pharmacy after receiving care through telemedicine. While medication abortion remains available for now, extremists continue to plot vicious new attacks on reproductive freedom in hopes of banning abortion nationally. Meanwhile, patients and providers must continue to navigate a complex and ever-changing legal landscape.

In response to today’s decision, Veronica Ingham, Managing Director for Free & Just released the following statement:

“While medication abortion is still available for now, anti-abortion extremists remain hellbent on banning abortion nationwide –– even in states where it is currently protected. Lawmakers eager to avoid talking about abortion before November may be breathing a sigh of relief tonight, but we know what’s really at stake and will continue to stand up to attacks on our freedom.”
