Medicamentele pentru avort, „pericol public”. Trei state americane cer intervenția justiției pentru a restricționa distribuirea

Three Republican-led states have initiated lawsuits to restrict the mail distribution of abortion medications, claiming it poses a public danger. Louisiana, Alabama, and Arkansas argue that shipping these drugs from states where abortion is legal undermines their bans. The lawsuits target both medical providers sending pills and laws in New York, California, and Massachusetts that protect prescribing doctors. Experts view this legal strategy as unprecedented, invoking public nuisance to limit access to abortion medications. The New York and Massachusetts attorneys general assert that these states are attempting to enforce their bans beyond their borders. One lawsuit has reached the U.S. Supreme Court, while the FDA is set to evaluate the safety of mifepristone by March 2027.
