- Opinion: Telehealth abortion with mifepristone continues, with backup plans still in place
The Supreme Court ruled that mifepristone, a drug used in medication abortion, can remain accessible via telehealth and mail. The decision reverses a previous order by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. The case was brought by the State of Louisiana, which claims that telehealth prescribing of mifepristone undermines its strict abortion ban.
