In the US, appeals court temporarily blocks access to abortion pills by mail

Trending videos on g1 A United States appeals court temporarily blocked a federal regulation that guarantees access by mail to the abortion drug mifepristone, this Friday (1st), according to the Reuters news agency. The pill was authorized for termination of pregnancy in the country by the United States regulatory agency (FDA) in September 2000. In January 2023, an FDA regulation permanently removed the obligation to purchase mifepristone in person at clinics, doctors’ offices or hospitals, allowing access by mail. Although temporary, Friday’s decision is the first to significantly restrict the supply of the drug, which has faced lawsuits since its initial approval. A box containing a mifepristone tablet.
