The number of Google searches for abortion pills reached an all-time high on Thursday.
The other states with the most searches were Nebraska, the District of Columbia, Iowa, Georgia, Mississippi, Delaware, Maryland, Kansas and Michigan.
Thirty-two states require that medication abortions be prescribed by physicians. Nineteen states say a medical clinician needs to be present when a patient receives the pills. And three states — Arizona, Arkansas and Texas — ban mailing abortion pills to patients.The Google searches give a glimpse of people's concerns about the availability of abortions.
As of last year, the Food and Drug Administration has allowed mail delivery across the country. Until then, women were required to pick up abortion pills in person. A scientific review found that complications were rare and that of the 26 deaths associated with the drug since 2000, not all could be directly attributed to it, the FDA reported.
Abortion pills are available online, from providers in the United States and internationally, where abortion may be legal and protected. States are going to struggle if they are committed, as some have said they are, to not punishing women who do have abortions.
