Mifepristone is one of the most-studied drugs in America, and I am asking you to help keep it available by telehealth and mail.
In U.S. clinical trials, 97.4% of patients needed no surgery, and serious reactions were reported in under 0.5%. More than a quarter of abortions in 2025 began with a telehealth visit. For people in rural areas, or who cannot take days off to drive to a clinic, mail is how this care reaches them. The same drug is used to manage miscarriage.
Louisiana is asking the courts to bring back the in-person pickup rule nationwide, and the FDA has opened a review with no end date. Decisions about this drug should rest on evidence, not on politics.
Please state publicly that you oppose restoring the in-person requirement for mifepristone.
