Easier Access to Medication Abortion: State Restrictions Preempted.

This bill aims to standardize regulations for medication abortion across the United States. It means states will not be able to impose their own restrictions, such as requiring in-person doctor visits or prohibiting telehealth for this purpose. The goal is to ensure equal access to this abortion method for all citizens, regardless of their location.
Key points
Standardized regulations: States will not be able to impose their own additional restrictions on medication abortion.
Telehealth availability: Prohibits restricting or banning the prescribing and dispensing of medication abortion via telehealth.
No in-person visit requirement: States will not be able to require an in-person visit to a healthcare practitioner for medication abortion.
