Following the US Supreme Court's decision on abortion, the Biden administration will focus on expanding access to abortion pills for women living in states where the procedure is banned or restricted

With little other means at its disposal, the Biden administration will focus on expanding access to abortion pills for women living in states where the procedure is banned or restricted - while those states and powerful conservative groups are sure to mount legal challenges to prohibit their use.

The pills, which can be used without significant risk to terminate a pregnancy up to 10 weeks' gestation, already account for half of all abortions carried out in the United States. Rebecca Gomperts, a Dutch physician who runs Aid Access, an Austria-based organisation that provides abortion pills over the internet, is confident that the situation now faced by American women is not as tragic as it was 50 years ago, before the landmark Roe vs Wade ruling of 1973 that enshrined abortion rights in America.

According to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supports access to abortion, 19 US states require that abortion pills be physically administered by a clinician, thus prohibiting their delivery by mail.

The Biden Administration has brought death and violence to every street corner across America. Their abortionist push is barbaric. Their rhetoric on this issue is about‘choice’ but they then want to restrict people’s choice on the 2nd Amendment. Abortion kills far more than guns

The culture war in the US still rages on....It's over in Ireland all our political parties and Supreme Court are progressive...

People with black jumpers told me five years ago that we needed to repeal a constitutional amendment because abortions were taking place at home and that was dangerous. Funny how that's changed.

At the time of the referendum weren't all the pro-abort doctors and commentators saying how dangerous they were? What's changed?

Blue states should make laws around preventing extradition of providers.
