The Supreme Court plans to hear a case this month that could curtail access to abortion pills nationwide. The medications are already banned in almost a third of the states.
Access to the two-drug regimen is currently legal in some form in 36 states and Washington, D.C. Medication abortion is legal in 21 states and restricted in the remaining 15, according to data from the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that advocates for abortion access.
