South Dakota GOP Gov. Kristi Noem is also hoping to restrict access to the telehealth procedure in her state.

Earlier this month, the most restrictive abortion ban in the United States went into effect in Texas. Now pro-choice activists are scrambling to find alternative ways to ensure people have access to abortions, but the state is moving quickly to shut those down, too.

Services exist to help people in states hostile to abortion obtain the drugs used in medication abortions. One such service is Plan C, which does not provide medication abortions but helps connect people with organizations that do. In most cases, this involves having a doctor from outside the United States prescribe the medications or purchasing the medication directly from overseas pharmacies.

While it might initially seem like a risky proposition to procure the drugs used in medication abortions in such a relatively unregulated fashion, those drugs — mifepristone and misoprostol — are extremely safe.

order Plan B online. Somebody was showing the website and how to order, but I was only half paying attention. Plus you need to know the proper dose if you're gonna use it for other than the 'Morning After' intended use, and I'm not about to dispense medical advice.
