""At a time when families are struggling to afford basic needs like housing, groceries and child care, it is unconscionable to restrict lifesaving access to abortion medication," said Regina Davis Moss, CEO of advocacy group In Our Own Voice."
""Reinstating in-person dispensing requirements would force people to travel farther, take more time off work, and absorb costs that are simply too high.""
A three-judge panel ruled in favor of Louisiana, challenging federal rules that expanded access to mifepristone, an abortion drug. The state claimed these rules conflicted with its laws protecting unborn life and led to increased Medicaid spending for women harmed by the drug. Reproductive rights advocates expressed concern that the ruling would limit access to essential care, emphasizing the financial burden of reinstating in-person dispensing requirements. An emergency appeal to the Supreme Court is anticipated following this decision.
