Health officials announced Tuesday that retail pharmacies will be allowed to sell abortion pills. The move could significantly expand access to the procedure after the Supreme Court overturned federal abortion rights last year.
WASHINGTON, United States — Retail pharmacies in the United States will be permitted to sell abortion pills, health officials said Tuesday, a move that could significantly expand access to the procedure after last year’s landmark Supreme Court ruling that overturned federal abortion rights.
A doctor’s prescription will be needed to obtain the pills, which were previously only available from a few mail-order pharmacies or certified doctors and clinics. Abortion pills are already used in more than half of US procedures to terminate a pregnancy, experts say, and they have increasingly become a focus in the political and legal battle for abortion rights since the Supreme Court’s controversial decision.
