TL;DR · WeSearch summary

A new report from the Charlotte Lozier Institute highlights the dangers of online abortion pill networks that operate without medical supervision. The study reveals that many websites violate federal regulations and can deliver abortion drugs quickly, similar to online shopping. It calls for policymakers to address the risks posed to women's safety by these unregulated providers.

Key facts

▪The report identifies eight online organizations that mail abortion-inducing drugs into states where they are prohibited.
▪Only 19 percent of online abortion drug sellers comply with federal rules against shipping pills after 10 weeks' gestation.
▪The Biden-era relaxation of federal rules has led to an increase in the availability of abortion drugs online across the U.S.
