The American Medical Association and three other health organizations are warning that the “confusing” language of state abortion laws following the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade is putting patients’ lives at risk by limiting access to medications that are used to treat multiple conditions.

The AMA, American Pharmacists Association, American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, and National Community Pharmacists Association called on state medical boards and policymakers to provide “clear guidance” as to whether certain abortion-inducing drugs were completely prohibited or could be prescribed for other conditions, such as arthritis.
