An American court has halted the practice of sending out abortion pills by post.
A unanimous panel for the U.S Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit ruled that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) must restore critical safeguards for chemical abortion drugs and disallow their shipment by mail.
The ruling follows an application by Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys representing four medical associations and four doctors experienced in caring for pregnant and post-abortive women.
They asked the 5th Circuit to uphold a federal district court’s decision protecting the health and safety of women and girls against chemical abortion drugs.
