"Efforts to Expand Abortion Pill Access Gain Momentum in Congress and White House"

House Democrats are introducing the Protecting Reproductive Freedom Act to protect access to medication abortion and allow providers to prescribe the abortion pill via telehealth. The bill comes after a Texas court decision put the FDA's approval of mifepristone on hold, despite it being the most widely used abortion method in the country. The Biden administration has appealed the decision, but a federal court in Washington state issued a contradictory opinion requiring the first of two pills taken in medication abortion to remain available in states without restrictions on it.
