Two top antiabortion groups have crafted and successfully lobbied for state legislation to ban or further restrict the predominant way pregnancies are ended in the United States via drugs taken at home, often facilitated by a network of abortion rights groups.
In the wake of the Supreme Courts decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, 14 states now ban or partially ban the use of those drugs, mifepristone and misoprostol, which are used in more than half of all abortions.
But the drugs remain widely available, with multiple groups working to help provide them even to women in states with abortion bans. Students for Life of America and National Right to Life Committee, which have played leading roles in crafting antiabortion laws, hope to change that with new legislation.
The groups are pursuing a variety of tactics, from bills that would ban the abortion-inducing drugs altogether to others that would allow family members to sue medication providers or attempt to shut down the nonprofit groups that help women obtain and safely use the drugs.

I have yet to see any majority come out and say SCOTUS was correct or abortion should be banned. I have yet to see a majority oppose Roe.

(26,912 posts)I would have to think plenty of them. The challenge will be how to communicate as theyre combing thru FB n other sites. These people would never put up w/ having what they need taken away but b/c they dont believe in abortive care, no one can have it.
