  • "We emphasize that it is our responsibility as State Attorneys General to uphold the law and protect the health, safety, and well-being of women and unborn children in our states," the attorney generals said in letters to the nation's two largest drugstore chains.

  • Last month, the FDA said it would allow pharmacies to offer abortion pills in the U.S., with pharmacies must complete a form for certification to distribute the abortion pills.
  • The pill, mifepristone, has become a central focus after the Supreme Court's decision last June to overturn Roe v. Wade, which protected access to an abortion procedure as a constitutional right for 50 years.
  • The Biden administration last month issued a legal opinion arguing that the Postal Service can mail the pill to states where it is banned if the sender does not intend to break the law, CNBC reported.
  • The Justice Department argued that even in states with severe restrictions on abortion, there are exceptions where mifepristone would be legal.
  • But the attorneys general dismissed the Justice Department opinion as "bizarre" and said they expect the courts to uphold their view that mifepristone cannot be sent by mail in their states.

  • CNBC 報導，拜登政府上個月發表了一項法律意見，爭論稱，如果發件人不打算違反法律，郵政局可以將藥丸郵寄到被禁止的州。
  • 司法部認為，即使在對墮胎有嚴格限制的州，也有例外情況，米非司酮是合法的。
