Statement from Melissa Fowler, Chief Program Officer at the National Abortion Federation:
We are pleased that abortion medication with mifepristone remains available. But this was only a temporary reprieve; we know that the battle is far from over. Mifepristone has been proven safe and effective for decades, but anti-abortion extremists will stop at nothing to prevent people from accessing it, just to fulfill a political agenda. These attempts to restrict mifepristone are not based on science, they are just part of a broader agenda to try and ban abortion in every state–even those with legal protections for access to abortion .
We will never stop fighting for people’s ability to access the full spectrum of abortion care. We work with our national network of member providers to ensure they can continue to provide clinically sound, evidence-based, compassionate care to patients. At the same time, NAF’s National Abortion Hotline will continue to provide abortion seekers with the accurate information, resources, and support they need to access the abortion care they deserve.
Abortion medicine is still available. If you need information about your options, you can call the National Abortion Hotline: 1-800-772-9100.
