Dobbs gave states power. Mifepristone took it back
On May 14, the U.S. Supreme Court yielded to abortion-drug manufacturers Danco and GenBioPro, allowing mifepristone to continue flowing into pro-life states through the mail. Here’s what that actually means.
TL;DR
- Mail-order abortions account for 27% of all abortions in the U.S. and are rising.
- In June 2025, 55% of mail-order abortions were unlawful due to state laws and telehealth restrictions.
- Approximately 9,000 unlawful mail-order abortions occur monthly in pro-life states, making up nearly all abortions there.
- States with later abortion bans see about 3,790 unlawful mail-order abortions monthly.
- This results in 12,790 unborn children monthly being affected in states that protect life, contrary to state laws.
