Abortion by mail: FDA permanently eases abortion pill restrictions, allowing direct shipment to patients in many states, including Illinois.
Chicago Tribune ^ | DEC 16, 2021 | Angie Leventis Lourgos

Women can now terminate a pregnancy without leaving home by mail-ordering abortion pills, a new means of accessing abortion care that’s recently gained a footing in many states — including Illinois — as reproductive rights become increasingly under fire across large swaths of the country.

The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday eased long-standing medication abortion restrictions that once required clinicians to dispense the medicine in person, a historic decision lauded by reproductive rights activists and condemned by abortion opponents.

The FDA had already temporarily waived these requirements due to the unique challenges patients faced to accessing clinics and hospitals during the pandemic. This paved the way for providers to begin shipping abortion medication directly to women via mail.

Patients first get a prescription for the medication through a telehealth visit with a clinician via laptop, phone or other electronic device. Then they can opt to have abortion pills shipped directly to their address, eliminating the need to visit a bricks-and-mortar health care facility to terminate a pregnancy.

But you better not attempt to get Ivermectin via the mail! The USPS and the FIB will be all over you.

Don’t you just love that. Can’t get healing drugs for Covid without workarounds but can get abortion pills. At least we know who FDA and our federal government worships. DEATH DEATH DEATH.

And men can slip one to their girlfriend and terminate the pregnancy even without her consent.

I can envision all kinds of scenarios like this.

Oh, crap! You’re right!

The Law of Unintended Consequences strikes again.

How does that differ from “back alley clothes hanger” abortions? This cannot possibly be safe.

Indeed. Death Worship is the established church of the ascendant faction of the ruling class.

By this time next year, schools in blue states will be handing abortion pills out to sixth graders without parents’ knowledge or consent. Because it’s a constitutional right, don’tcha know.

I'm not so sure that's an unintended consequence.
Also see my tagline.

Let me get this straight- I can mail order pills to terminate a life, but they are working to prevent me from getting pills in mail (Ivermectin) that could potentially SAVE a life??? Alice has crashed through the lookin glass. God help us, Jesus please hurry

The battle between good and evil will not end in our lifetime. All we can do is keep fighting.

States that have or will soon pass restrictions on abortion will see this end run and likely legislate restrictions on the pill by state. Perhaps that is how this should be done anyway.

The FDA restrictions on Ivermectin analogy is interesting though. No hypocrisy there /s

Always struck by the language, in this case ‘reproductive rights.’ The issue isn’t the right to reproduce. The issue is ending a human life.

au contraire....... while selfishness is a significant rational for abortion. fear is a great detractent from pregnancy

You can not die giving birth if you don’t give birth

A perhaps the major cause for female death is giving birth

So if you abort ( POP A BABY KILLING PILL) after the heartbeat is heard you are a murder.

I disagree. Women CAN live without sex but won't so their answer is to murder their child because they needed a "thrill" that lasts a few seconds. That is selfish.

If you're having trouble getting hold of ivermectin I recommend putting rouge on your nose and the center of your face and using moisturizer to make yourself break out. Then go to your doctor and get him/her to diagnose you with rosacea, one of the conditions ivermectin is approved to treat in humans. Best of luck!
