Abortion Laws by State
On May 1, 2026, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that healthcare providers in all 50 states are temporarily not allowed to give patients one of the medications that make up abortion pills, mifepristone, by mail or through a pharmacy. For now, this means that people who are prescribed abortion pills must now go in person to a clinic or healthcare center to pick up their medication.
This ruling does not make it a crime to use abortion pills to end a pregnancy. And it has nothing to do with the safety of abortion pills. Abortion pills are still a safe and effective way to end a pregnancy, with or without the help of the healthcare provider.
