Telehealth Abortion Care in the U.S.

Telehealth provider in Massachusetts sends abortion pills to people in states with abortion restrictions via shield laws, providing a legal way to access abortion care. Patients can connect with doctors online, receive pills within a week, and pay on a sliding scale. The rise of telehealth has increased the number of abortions in the U.S., post Roe v. Wade. Shield laws protect providers from legal repercussions but face opposition from anti-abortion groups.
