Medication abortion and Ohio law
Medication abortion (mifepristone + misoprostol) is the most common abortion method in the US and is typically used early in pregnancy. Whether it can be prescribed via telehealth and mailed to Ohio depends on state law (constitutional amendment 2023) and on shield-law providers operating from protected states. Plan C maintains the most current state-by-state picture, and Aid Access serves all 50 states with clinician support. If cost is a barrier, wakefulpeacefund.org can help.
