Discussion Topic

Currently, the law states that a woman must see a physician in person before she can use mifepristone (the abortion pill RU 486) to induce an abortion. The law prohibits using a video conference with the physician and the medication being administered by a nonphysician. Legislators are seeking information to introduce a bill that makes the prescription of the abortion pill less restrictive. A group of legislators from your district have hired you to help them find appropriate information to introduce a bill to change the law.

What information would you provide the legislator and why?
