"Despite the death of Roe v. Wade in 2022 and the anti-abortion movement's unrelenting efforts, banning abortion still does not mean people stop needing abortion care. In 2024, 1.14 million abortions were performed in the U.S., and in 2023, the abortion pill mifepristone was used in two-thirds of all abortions. And, this week, a new report and a new lawsuit once again prove why mifepristone is more crucial and more vulnerable than ever."
"Alas, because no abortion rights high lasts longer than few minutes in this wretched country, on Tuesday, Attorney General Ken Paxton (R-Texas) and AG James Uthmeier (R-Fla.) filed a lawsuit against the FDA to ban the abortion pill. And it's nearly identical to the one filed by AGs Kris Kobach (R-Kansas), Catherine Hanaway (R-Miss.), and Raúl Labrador (R-Idaho) less than a month ago. Nightmare collab, much?"
Roe v. Wade ended in 2022, but abortion demand continues. In 2024, 1.14 million abortions took place in the U.S., and mifepristone accounted for two-thirds of abortions in 2023. Telehealth delivery expanded rapidly: telehealth abortions made up 27% of abortions from January to June 2025, rising from 25% at the end of 2024 and just 5% in spring 2022. Shield laws facilitated nearly 15,000 abortions per month by allowing out-of-state providers to prescribe pills to patients in banned states. Multiple state attorneys general filed nearly identical lawsuits seeking to overturn FDA approvals of mifepristone, threatening access.
