Governors of Blue States Stockpile Abortion Medication in Response to Legal Uncertainty.

California has secured an emergency stockpile of up to 2 million pills of Misoprostol, a safe and effective medication abortion drug, in the wake of an extremist judge seeking to block Mifepristone, a critical abortion pill. The state has shared the negotiated terms of its Misoprostol purchase agreement to assist other states in securing Misoprostol at low cost. The move comes after a Texas judge sought to block access to Mifepristone, threatening to severely curb access to safe abortion care. California has also updated its abortion resource website to address questions regarding the Texas court decision and its potential impact on access to medication abortion.
