Clinics around Ohio are now able to prescribe the abortion pill mifepristone virtually and can send it to pharmacies or directly to homes through mail-order medication services.

An Ohio judge recently blocked two laws that would have made it harder for people to get an abortion in the state. Last Thursday, Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Alison Hatheway issued a preliminary injunction that extends an existing order that halts the enforcement of a ban on telemedicine in medication abortions—which is conducted at home under the supervision of a medical provider—in a lawsuit brought on by Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio Region and other clinics and physicians against the Ohio Department of Health and other state officials.

Two more Ohio abortion restrictions have been blocked in court as the legal impacts of a 2023 constitutional amendment guaranteeing access to the procedure continue to be felt.
