Key Points
Impact Analysis
Personal Impact
Life & Work
This bill would dramatically limit access to medication abortion for people seeking to end a pregnancy. Currently, more than half of all abortions in the U.S. use medication, and many patients access these drugs through telehealth or mail. By requiring an in-person visit with a physically present doctor, plus special waste collection kits, the bill would make medication abortion much harder to obtain, particularly for people in rural areas or states with few abortion providers.
