Legal battles continue in the United States over the distribution of the abortion pill mifepristone, with ongoing court cases challenging its availability via mail and telemedicine. While some courts have upheld the drug's safety and access, others are considering restrictions that could limit dispensing to in-person clinic visits. The Food and Drug Administration is also conducting a review of mifepristone's safety, which reproductive rights groups criticize as politically motivated. Despite varying state laws and legal challenges, the overall number of abortions in the U.S. has seen a slight increase, largely due to expanded access to medication abortion pills through telehealth and mail services.
