"One in four abortions are now provided via pills prescribed through telehealth, and half of telehealth abortions last year were provided under shield laws, according to research from the Society of Family Planning."

On its 25th birthday, mifepristone is more under attack than ever

The FDA's approval of the revolutionary drug in 2000 helped change abortion access nationwide.

Various regions need more trained abortion and reproductive healthcare providers. Abortion bans create fewer providers and more barriers for pregnant patients in the future.

We're here to assist medical students with abortion advocacy and curriculum reform on campus.
