How did the pandemic influence abortion pill access through telehealth services?

During the pandemic, the FDA made a significant policy change that expanded access to abortion pills by allowing them to be prescribed and sent through the mail. This shift was part of a broader expansion of telehealth services that occurred during COVID-19, aimed at maintaining healthcare access while reducing in-person contact. This telehealth expansion represented an important step toward making abortion care more accessible to patients, particularly those in areas with limited access to reproductive healthcare providers. However, these developments have since faced various legal challenges, creating ongoing uncertainty about the future of remote abortion care services.
