4 ways Americans are still getting abortion pills
Banning abortion doesn’t eliminate the need for it.

In June, the Supreme Court overturned the 1973 landmark decision Roe v. Wade — eliminating the federal right to abortion, and giving the power to decide whether abortion is a crime to each individual state. As of July, many states have already banned abortion outright, and more are soon to follow. But heavily restricting or banning abortion doesn’t eliminate the need for it. And abortion care looks a bit different than it did in 1973.
Over 50 percent of legal abortions in the United States are now carried out early in pregnancy with the use of a two-medication regime known as “abortion pills” or “medication abortion.” Most people are able to take the medication in the privacy of their own home.
In December 2021, the federal Food and Drug Administration permanently allowed the pills to be shipped by mail -- and even the states with the tightest restrictions don't necessarily have the power to stop the pills from being discreetly mailed to patients’ homes. And while doctors who live in states where abortion is banned can’t prescribe the pills for that purpose, people in those states are finding ways get them with the help of websites like PlanCPills.org. The video above outlines some of the paths they’re taking to get the care they need in a post-Roe America.
