States consider new laws to ban abortion pills and penalize their use post-Roe v. Wade.

In several states where abortion is already banned, lawmakers are considering new laws to ban abortion pills and penalize women seeking abortions. These proposals aim to classify abortion pills as controlled substances and make their possession without prescription illegal. Despite opposition from major medical groups, who argue the pills are safe, these measures continue to influence the abortion policy debate post-Roe v. Wade. Some states are also legally challenging healthcare providers prescribing abortion pills through telehealth, testing laws in states like New York that protect such providers.
