A newly released report from the Charlotte Lozier Institute examines how abortion drug websites and telehealth providers are operating across state lines in post-Dobbs America, including into states with laws protecting unborn children.

The report, An Overview of Online Abortion Drug Access in Post-Dobbs America, details the rapid expansion of online abortion drug distribution and raises concerns about compliance with federal safety standards and state abortion laws.

According to researcher Mia Steupert, the analysis found that several online-only organizations ship abortion drugs into states where abortion is prohibited or restricted. The report also states that many providers distribute abortion drugs beyond the FDA’s 70-day gestational limit, while some websites previously warned by the FDA for unlawful sales remain active.

The study further documents the growing use of telehealth abortions nationwide following the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision. Researchers argue that changes to federal abortion drug regulations, combined with state shield laws and online distribution networks, have made abortion drugs increasingly accessible through the internet in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.
