"The idea that you can get abortion pills by mail or that you can get them in advance is really new to a lot of people," she says. "So having a group like Planned Parenthood that does have such trust and name recognition adding those services is really important." She points out that the geography of both Hawaii and Washington make it so that getting care quickly can be a challenge, and since days and hours matter during pregnancy, stocking up in advance might be especially important...

GOP Moves To Curb Abortion Pills With Junk Science | HuffPost Latest News
"It's troubling that President Trump's new FDA commissioner has refused to acknowledge mifepristone's longstanding record of overwhelming safety and efficacy," Liz Wagner, senior federal policy counsel at the Center for Reproductive Rights, told HuffPost. "And it's even more troubling that a deeply flawed, non-peer-reviewed 'study' was released by an anti-abortion group immediately after Dr. Makary told a reporter that the FDA may act on 'a real signal' on mifepristone." …

Because Carpenter is based in New York, Paxton's lawsuit will come up against New York's shield law, which dictates that officials in the state will not cooperate with attempts by other states to sue or prosecute providers who send abortion pills to people in states that ban abortion.

Vance urged DOJ to enforce Comstock Act, crack down on abortion pills - The Washington Post
"The threat that a future Trump-Vance administration will misuse Comstock to ban abortion nationwide is now a five-alarm fire," said Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn.), who is leading an effort to repeal the Comstock Act's abortion provisions in Congress.
The White House has also drawn a contrast between Biden's stance on Comstock and his GOP rivals.
"While Republican elected officials would like to resuscitate a law from 1873 to shut down access to mifepristone — which the FDA first approved as safe and effective more than 20 years ago — the Biden-Harris Administration has made clear that the Comstock Act is not a barrier to the shipment or transport of medication abortion," Jennifer Klein, director of the White House's Gender Policy Council, said in a statement...

Do 1 in 5 women suffer complications from abortion pills? No. Group suing FDA shares flawed data. - PolitiFact
A video from Alliance Defending Freedom claimed abortion pills are dangerous and that "1 in 5 women will have a complication."
The statistic appears to be based on a flawed study that experts said misclassified complications. The study's lead author said the claim misconstrues the research. More than 100 studies spanning multiple decades have found that medication abortion is safe and effective.

Texas Bill Would Bar ISPs From Hosting Abortion Websites, Info
Last week, Texas introduced a bill that would make it illegal for internet service providers to let users access information about how to get abortion pills. The bill, called the Women and Child Safety Act, would also criminalize creating, editing, or hosting a website that helps people seek abortions.
If the bill passes, internet service providers (ISPs) will be forced to block websites "operated by or on behalf of an abortion provider or abortion fund." ISPs would also have to filter any website that helps people who "provide or aid or abet elective abortions" in almost any way, including raising money...
