"I guarantee you that if I took a gun and I filed off the serial number of the gun and sent it to those states where that's illegal, they would want to prosecute me for that. Anybody can go online, they can obtain these pills, there is no human interaction at all. Some doctors somewhere is facilitating the distribution of these pills, it would be no different if they were sending fentanyl."
"This case has the potential to make dramatic, nationwide changes to mifepristone access and will worsen our country's health care crisis. Let's call this case what it is: an attempt to ban abort[ion]."
"Weekly reminder that the abortion pill mifepristone is safe-safer than Tylenol, and safer than Viagra, and has been backed by more than 100 studies. What's more, a JAMA study published in January confirmed that the previous FDA studies that took place from 2011 to 2023 were based on both fact and real science, not politics."
Louisiana's Attorney General Liz Murrill filed a lawsuit against the FDA, seeking an injunction to stop telehealth abortions and reverse the FDA's 2023 decision removing in-person requirements for mifepristone. Murrill compared obtaining abortion pills online to illegal gun trafficking and fentanyl distribution, claiming the practice enables coercion and poisoning. However, mifepristone is scientifically proven safer than Tylenol and Viagra, backed by over 100 studies and confirmed by JAMA research. Planned Parenthood warned the case could dramatically restrict mifepristone access nationwide and worsen healthcare crises.
