New medication abortion restrictions will reach across the country – including states where abortion is still legal, after a federal appeals court ruling in a case from Louisiana. The state sued the FDA to block tele-med access to the abortion drug mifepristone, arguing that its availability by mail undermined Louisiana’s abortion ban. An appeals court panel agreed – blocking mail-order access across the country. Drugmakers have already asked the Supreme Court to reverse the ruling. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is waging a quiet war on birth control, rewriting guidelines for a crucial family planning program. “There’s become a kind of new coalition politics of opposing contraception,” says UC Davis Law Professor Mary Ziegler, “and the President is looking for a way to reach those social conservative voters who are angry with him about other things.”
