Conservative states focus on banning abortion pills
Lawmakers in states where abortion is already banned are focusing on measures intended to crack down on abortion pills. The governor of South Dakota signed such a bill into law this month and lawmakers in Mississippi appear close to finalizing one. The emphasis comes as a new survey suggests getting pills through telehealth has passed traveling to other states as the most common way for women in states with bans to obtain abortion. So far this year, only Wyoming has imposed a new abortion ban. And while the idea has been proposed, no bill to penalize women who have abortions has advanced.
