Abortion pill restrictions on pause, for now

from WORT 89.9FM Madison · host WORT 89.9FM Madison

For now, telehealth providers can still prescribe the widely-used abortion pill mifepristone and send it through the mail. That’s after the U.S. Supreme Court paused last week’s federal decision requiring an in-person visit. But remote access to the abortion pill is still up in the air. Jenny Higgins is the director of the UW Collaborative for Reproductive Equity. She joined our News Producer Faye Parks to explain how the legal back and forth could impact Wisconsin.
