Court Blocks Mail Delivery of Abortion Pill Mifepristone
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
A federal appeals court has restricted access to one of the most common abortion methods in the United States by blocking the mail delivery of mifepristone prescriptions. A panel from the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, based in New Orleans, ruled that the abortion pill must be distributed exclusively in person at clinics. The decision states, 'Each abortion facilitated by the FDA's action nullifies Louisiana's ban on medical abortions and undermines its policy that every unborn child is a human being from the moment of conception and therefore a legal person.'
