When abortion by mail is about profit, women pay the price

In just a matter of days, the rules around abortion by mail have shifted back and forth. First, the 5th Circuit temporarily blocked the mailing of mifepristone into Louisiana, then abortion providers immediately pivoted to alternative abortion pill regimens, and finally, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito temporarily restored nationwide access while the court considers next steps.

That rapid scramble revealed that when abortion pill access is threatened, the abortion industry moves fastest not to protect women, but to protect its business model.
