A little over half of abortions are medication induced. This was interesting. I didn't understand the reluctance of some states to embrace telehealth. It's such a great way to reach more people. Now I wonder if it might be related to this.

"The use of medication abortion has grown significantly since its approval by the FDA in 2000. The FDA update of the REMS has the potential to expand the availability of medication abortion and broaden the use of telehealth dispensing. However, state bans on telehealth and requirements for in-person dispensation of mifepristone, and requirements for in-person counseling visits and ultrasounds that are not medically recommended will continue to restrict access in many states."
