A U.S. appeals court temporarily blocked a federal rule allowing the abortion drug mifepristone to be dispensed through the mail, significantly curtailing access nationwide, especially in states that have banned abortion.

A federal appeals court temporarily blocked the distribution of mifepristone through the mail, marking a significant threat to abortion access since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.

A federal appeals court has restricted access to one of the most common means of abortion in the U.S. by blocking the mailing of mifepristone prescriptions.

A federal appeals court has ruled to restrict the distribution of mifepristone ... a commonly used abortion pill, by prohibiting its mailing across the U.S., mandating instead that it can only be dispensed in-person at clinics.

The 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals issued a decision temporarily halting the federal rules that had allowed the teleprescription and mailing of abortion pills, particularly mifepristone, which is used in over 60% of abortions in the U.S.
