A new telemedicine site is changing the future of abortion access, hopefully, permanently: Launching today, Abortion on Demand (AOD), the first large-scale telehealth abortion (a.k.a. teleabortion) service run by a U.S.-based provider, will help people who want to end their pregnancies with pills. The launch comes immediately after the Biden administration announced it would temporarily allow telemedicine abortions during the pandemic; it's a change long-awaited by reproductive rights advocates and AOD's founder, Dr. Jamie Phifer, who has been building the service for the last year and a half—keeping it under wraps until such a policy change enabled her to legally get it off the ground.

Teleabortion has complicated history in America. Medication abortion (i.e. ending a pregnancy via pills) is legal in every state. However, providing virtual abortion care and mailing abortion pills to patients is not. Despite the regimen's proven safety record, the first of two pills taken to end a pregnancy, mifepristone, is to a subject to a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS), an FDA drug-safety program. The rule requires that patients pick up the drug at a clinic or hospital—not at a retail pharmacy or by mail. During the pandemic, a federal lawsuit meant that mailing pills was permitted until the Supreme Court halted the practice on January 12, 2021; before the Supreme Court ruling, several telemedicine sites opened...then were forced to shut down.
