Statesman columnist Bridget Grumet speaks about her trip to Delaware to investigate the access Texas women have to abortion by mail.

Texas has outlawed most abortions and forbids sending abortion medication through the mail. That didn’t stop thousands of Texans from finding abortion pills online.

A federal judge in Texas ruled that three states can challenge the current rules of accessibility for abortion pills.

More than 2,800 Texans are getting abortion pills through the mail from out-of-state every month, prompting a lawsuit and legislation seeking to end the practice.

Taking abortion pills at home helps reduce stigma associated with pregnancy termination, according to recent findings. “It’s intuitive to understand that people are afraid of protesters outside of abortion clinics.

A judge in Texas says 3 other states can pursue their effort to stop telehealth abortion pill prescriptions nationwide.

After Congress declined to extend certain relief allowing first-dollar coverage of telehealth services by high-deductible health plans (HDHPs), health plan sponsors may need to make immediate changes to preserve employees’ health savings account (HSA) eligibility.

The Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center launched the program to provide free breast cancer detection for women in rural parts of the state.

Idaho, Kansas and Missouri can pursue legal action to prohibit the Food and Drug Administration from allowing online prescriptions.

An incoming new president and state legislative sessions ramping up are likely to bring more changes to abortion policy across the U.S., which is still settling after the seismic shift in 2022 when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and opened the door to state bans.

The states want the federal Food and Drug Administration to prohibit telehealth prescriptions for mifepristone and require that it be used only in the first seven weeks of pregnancy instead of the current limit of 10 weeks.
