Access to medication abortion may widen as FDA to permit some retail pharmacies to dispense abortion pills

The regulatory change, which was released with little fanfare or explanation Tuesday night, appeared to reflect the Biden administration’s desire to deliver on its vow to keep abortion accessible after the Supreme Court’s June decision overturning the constitutional right to abortion.

Medication abortions have become increasingly common since the FDA approved mifepristone more than two decades ago and now account for more than half of pregnancy terminations in the United States, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which supports abortion rights. As a result, the pills have become the latest battleground over abortion, as conservative states that restrict the procedure take steps to make it more difficult to access the medication to terminate a pregnancy.

Some abortion rights advocates said the impact of the change remains unclear, however, including how many brick-and-mortar stores will choose to take advantage of it. “This is an extremely negligent act on the part of the FDA, which has just increased the number of places where you can acquire the pills that can harm women, and certainly harm the pre-born,” said Kristi Hamrick, chief media and policy strategist for Students for Life of America, a national antiabortion group.
