Impact of FDA's new regulations on abortion pills
The FDA has mandated that abortion pills can now be sent by mail, eliminating the requirement for in-person pickup. This change aims to increase access to abortion for those in rural areas or with limited resources. While this is a step towards making abortion more accessible, advocates argue that other regulations, such as additional forms and clinician registration requirements, should be lifted to further improve access.
