🚨 BREAKING: The FDA will not require in-person dispensing of abortion pills for the duration of the #COVID19 pandemic! In addition to safety benefits, telehealth is a critical option for people experiencing financial hardship, lack of child care & homeschooling responsibilities.

This is a long overdue first step, but it’s far from enough. @US_FDA should now review all the restrictions it currently places on abortion pills in light of the full body of scientific evidence and real-world use, and modify or remove them accordingly. #SafeButStillObstructed
The scientific evidence is clear: #MedicationAbortion is safe and effective, and has a stellar track record of more than 20 years of use in the United States.
Our most recent research found that in 2017, medication abortion in the US accounted for 39% of all clinician-managed abortions and 60% of all clinician-managed abortions taking place up to 10 weeks’ gestation. guttmacher.org/article/2019/0… #MedicationAbortionCare
Last but not least, our heartfelt thanks to the providers, litigators, and many others who joined together to make today's progress possible! #MedicationAbortionCare
