This request comes after a woman was accused of getting abortion pills from a doctor in New York and giving them to her teenage daughter.
The letter to Congress, led by Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin, focuses on “shield laws.” These laws, passed in states where abortion is still legal, protect doctors and others from being punished if they help someone in a state where abortion is banned.
After the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, some states banned abortion completely. This included abortion pills. But, according to the letter, pills are still being mailed into those states from places with more relaxed laws.
The attorneys general argue that shield laws make it harder for states to enforce their abortion bans.
“These drugs are dangerous if not dispensed in person and put women in danger of having to go to the emergency room for an ectopic pregnancy. Every time someone mails abortion pills to Louisiana, it’s a State and federal crime. If the FDA won’t act, Congress must,” said Murrill.
The letter was signed by attorneys general from Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
