Telehealth prescriptions have become common even in states where abortion is allowed — and the ruling blocks them there, too.
“This is going to affect patients’ access to abortion and miscarriage care in every state in the nation,” said Julia Kaye, an ACLU lawyer. “When telemedicine is restricted, rural communities, people with low incomes, people with disabilities, survivors of intimate partner violence and communities of color suffer the most.”
Is it nationwide? I thought 5th circuit rulings only applied within the 5th circuit.
Theoretically the pills just need to be mailed from outside that jurisdiction, right?
That’s exactly what the Supreme Court ruled last year. Apparently the AP thinks it’s still 2022 or something.
Apparently not, somehow.
