International Telehealth Provider ‘Abortion Pills in Private’ Ready to Ramp Up if FDA Restricts Mifepristone
[[link removed]]
In the wake of Roe’s fall and a wave of state abortion bans, reproductive health advocates abroad have launched international telehealth abortion services that mail abortion pills directly to people’s homes in all 50 states. As Trump’s FDA threatens to block U.S.-based medical providers from offering telehealth abortion, one international telehealth provider—Abortion Pills in Private—has vowed to continue providing mifepristone and misoprostol to U.S.-based patients, no matter what.
Their commitment is clear: “We will continue to send mifepristone, even if the FDA takes it off the market inside the U.S.,” said a representative of the service.
Their service and determination grew directly out of the post-Roe crisis. The Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and end constitutional abortion rights spurred the formation of Abortion Pills in Private, which began serving people in the U.S. in March 2024.
As one cofounder put it, their project emerged as a direct extension of their global abortion work. “Of the small group of us who set it up, a couple of us were actually working on abortion access in other countries for all of our careers. When Roe v. Wade fell, we came together with U.S.-based advocates to set up something for the U.S. because we thought that there would be further restrictions coming into play, and it would be really important to have something outside of the U.S.”

The Stats on Abortion Access in Rural America
[[link removed]]
Compared to their urban and suburban counterparts, a greater share of the rural population lives in states with the most restrictive abortion legislation, according to my analysis of data from the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that focuses on reproductive rights. After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June of 2022, it became harder for women to access reproductive care, but the burden often disproportionately hurt rural women.
About 46% of nonmetropolitan, or rural, Americans live in states with either ‘most restrictive’ or ‘very restrictive’ abortion legislation, representing 21.3 million people. Approximately 35% of metro Americans live in these states, representing roughly 99.1 million people.
State-level abortion legislation is complex; it’s rarely as simple as an outright ban or permit. Abortion policies can include stipulations like waiting periods, ultrasound requirements, gestational duration bans, insurance coverage bans, telehealth bans, and more. To deal with some of this complexity, the Guttmacher dataset groups states into one of seven categories that broadly captures the state’s access to abortion:
* Most Restrictive
* Very Restrictive
* Restrictive
* Some restrictions/protections
* Protective
* Very Protective
* Most Protective
