How a 19th century law, central to a national telehealth abortion case, could impact Virginia

The Supreme Court temporarily preserved telehealth access to mifepristone, a medication used in abortions, amid a legal challenge from Louisiana. The case involves the Comstock Act, an 1873 law that could block mailing abortion-related drugs, potentially impacting states like Virginia where abortion is currently legal. Activist Mark Lee Dickson advocates enforcing the law to create a national abortion ban, while telehealth provider Hey Jane emphasizes its role in reproductive healthcare access.
