The Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday that all pharmacies would be allowed to offer abortion pills if they comply with specific regulations, The New York Times reported.
Individuals with a prescription from a certified health care provider can now access the abortives mifepristone and misoprostol at major chains like CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid, as well as local drugstores compliant with the necessary criteria.
Before the change, mifepristone was only accessible through a limited number of mail-order pharmacies, certified doctors, and clinics. Misoprostol was more circulated but is now far easier to access under the new rules.
