The US Supreme Court Will Decide the Fate of Medication Abortion

Wired  

The US Supreme Court decided Wednesday to hear a case challenging access to abortion pills in the United States, including in states where abortion is legal. Pills are now the most common abortion method in the US; curtailing the availability of medication abortion would be a major blow to reproductive health care. “The future of telehealth for medication abortion care now hangs in the balance," says Dana Northcraft, the founding director of the Reproductive Health Initiative for Telehealth Equity and Solutions. "Telehealth for medication abortion is safe and effective and helps people overcome barriers to care, whether it be long travel distances or getting time off from work or school.” The Supreme Court will hear the case this term, which means a decision may come in summer 2024, in the midst of the US presidential election season.
