Those laws would make it illegal to prescribe or help people obtain abortion pills, but governments might find that part of the ban difficult to enforce, Parmet said."It is going to be very hard for states to completely prevent people within their state from accessing medication abortions," she said. "We haven’t been very successful at preventing people from accessing all kinds of medications, therapeutics, illicit drugs."An additional complication, the two experts said, is the question of whether state bans can override the FDA’s approval."There’s an argument — I don’t know that it’s a winning one with the current U.S. Supreme Court — that the federal licensing of up to 10 weeks would override and pre-empt the state’s approximately six-week ban," Parmet said, referring to the laws in Oklahoma and Texas.It's also unclear whether states would have the legal authority to prohibit out-of-state physicians from prescribing abortion pills to their residents.
