FDA broadens availability of abortion pills to more US pharmacies

Food and Drug Administration finalizes rule change which follows US supreme court decision to end federal right to abortion

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Tuesday finalized a rule change that broadens availability of abortion pills to many more pharmacies including large chains and mail-order companies.

The Biden administration partially implemented the change last year, announcing it would no longer enforce a requirement that women pick up the medicine in person.
