Millions of adults are unsure if abortion pills and Plan B are legal where they live. Advocates say that’s a GOP tactic.
DobbsThe anti-abortion movement is deeply divided over whether and how to enforce bans on medication abortion, but providers sending pills across state lines are a certain target for right-wing lawmakers. Further muddying the waters, Republican attorneys general in 20 states that have banned or attempted to restrict abortion — including South Carolina — sent a
to CVS and Walgreens this week warning that the pharmacies could violate state and federal laws by following Food and Drug Administration regulations for dispensing mifepristone and misoprostol.on medication abortion after 10 and 7 weeks of pregnancy respectively, while 18 states require patients to be in the physical presence of the prescribing clinician to obtain abortion medication.
Wetmore doubts officials are aware of the law as written, but she fears zealous prosecutors could still arrest and punish people for receiving abortion pills in the mail or simply following their doctor’s instructions to self-manage abortion at home. Wetmore said she and other Democrats are preparing to bring up the issue, along with the basic medical facts ignored by anti-abortion laws, when lawmakers consider the latest sweeping ban proposed by Republicans next week.
“I don’t think that people know that the 1974 law is on the books, but even without that, it’s obviously confusing as hell,” Wetmore said. “The story is changing every day. Even lawmakers have to Google what the law is.”
