Last month the Ohio House passed a bill to restrict access to abortion drugs. House Bill 324 would require an in-office doctor’s appointment for medications described as having “severe adverse effects” in more than 5% of cases. This means drugs such as mifepristone could not be prescribed through telehealth.
On Cincinnati Edition, we examine the statistics on medication abortions and abortion drugs prescribed through telehealth.
Guests:
