The FDA under Biden has approved women to get the abortion pills through mail order pharmacies (domestic or foreign) without seeing a doctor or having a prescription, subject to the restrictions of individual states. This was prohibited by the FDA under Trump.

However, this ruling is only valid during the “COVID-19 health emergency” when women allegedly have little access to health care. It seems odd that the ruling would be released at this time when resources for health care are back to normal. Since it will have no impact on a woman’s ability to get the pills (unless she just wishes to skip the doctor visit), it seems to be just a political statement for the pro-abortion crowd.

The abortion pills have become so popular that 40% of abortions in the US are now done this way. That has obviously reduced the number of surgical abortions which otherwise have produced a huge income stream. Planned Parenthood, which does over 40% of abortions in the US, has a big business also in dispensing the abortion pills and performing associated medical studies and procedures.
