The high court is weighing a case that could rewrite the rules of care in more than two-thirds of U.S. abortions, limiting access to a popular drug even in states where it remains legal.
Lee had just been dumped when she found out she was pregnant. With no car, no job and no support, the 23-year-old — who asked that her last name be withheld for medical privacy — ended up at the virtual clinic Hey Jane, where she was quickly assessed and prescribed abortion medication. Four months later, thousands of Californians in a similar situation have been holding their breath as the U.S. Supreme Court weighed a case that could rewrite the rules of care in more than two-thirds of U.S.
'Abortion care via mail is now the most viable form of access for most of the country,' said Kiki Freedman, co-founder and chief executive of Hey Jane, an abortion telehealth startup. 'Any change to the way mifepristone is prescribed is an attack on access, period.' Indeed, a growing number of experts believe the rise of telehealth could explain why abortions jumped in the wake of the Dobbs decision, even as 21 states have partially or completely outlawed the procedure.
