Court reinstates in-person pickup for abortion pills nationwide (temporary)
TL;DR
A federal appeals court temporarily reinstated the rule that abortion pills must be picked up in person, blocking access via mail and telehealth. The decision, tied to Louisiana’s suit against the FDA, is a win for antiabortion advocates and will affect access in states with bans while manufacturers seek to pause or challenge the ruling.
