More than half of U.S. states have either already restricted access to abortion care or are likely to, and states including Indiana and Texas have "In many states, these laws prohibit prescribing and dispensing an 'abortion-inducing drug,' or contain other comparable terms," they said."This language is vague, and it is unclear whether it prohibits certain medications only when prescribed to induce abortion or whether a medication is prohibited entirely if it has the potential to induce abortion regardless of the condition for which it was prescribed.
"Our members and our patients report that this uncertainty is disrupting care," said the organizations."Patients who rely on these medications for reasons unrelated to pregnancy termination report new challenges in accessing these and other medications, and it is placing our patients' health at risk."
