As our nation addresses the COVID-19 pandemic, some abortion advocates are pushing to eliminate chemical abortion regulations in an effort to send abortion pills through the mail.

Unchallenged by the media, they claim existing federal protections are antiquated, and at-home abortions minimize travel and the use of scarce resources such as personal protective equipment. They propose a system where a woman could video chat with a doctor who would either mail the pills to her home or call them into a pharmacy or clinic where someone could pick them up.
