INTEREST OF AMICI CURIAE1
Amici are over 160 reproductive health, rights, and justice organizations, as well
as other organizations with a strong interest in access to reproductive care. Amici
include, inter alia, healthcare organizations that prescribe mifepristone and are directly
impacted by an order requiring mifepristone to be picked up in person at a health center;
research organizations with specialized expertise in the safety of mifepristone and the
harms caused by abortion restrictions; organizations that work directly with people
seeking abortion care and witness firsthand the enormous challenges they face when
forced to travel for care; and organizations that advocate on behalf of people who need
abortions and the clinicians who care for them. A complete list of amici is in the Appendix.
Amici have seen the importance of medication abortion to individuals’ health and
bodily autonomy, as well as mifepristone’s efficacy and safety as a tool for achieving those
goals. Amici also have a unique window into the benefits that mifepristone provides—
including when prescribed via telehealth2 and dispensed by mail or pharmacies—and the
immense harms of restricting such access. Amici urge this Court to grant the emergency
applications and stay or vacate the decision of the Fifth Circuit.
1
Pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 37.6, counsel for amici certify that this brief was not authored in whole
or in part by counsel for any party and that no person or entity other than amici, their members, or their
counsel has made a monetary contribution intended to fund the preparation or submission of this brief.
2
In using the term “prescribed via telehealth” in this brief, amici refer to patients who are prescribed
mifepristone by a healthcare provider using telehealth and then receive their prescription either by mail
or at a pharmacy.
1
SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT
Amici write to emphasize the overwhelming consensus of the scientific and
medical community that medication abortion using mifepristone—including when
prescribed via telehealth—is safe, effective, and medically necessary. The evidence
confirming mifepristone’s safety and efficacy has only grown more compelling since the
Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) first approved it in 2000. Since then, more than
7.5 million people have safely used the medication, and hundreds of high-quality studies
and the experience of millions of patients have confirmed mifepristone’s exceptional
safety record, whether dispensed in person or through telehealth. There is no medical
justification for a nationwide requirement that patients across the country travel to a
healthcare provider for the sole purpose of picking up medication that they can later take
at home.
Amici also write to explain what is at stake. Barring patients from obtaining
mifepristone by mail and at pharmacies imposes devastating and medically unjustified
burdens on patients’ access to mifepristone. Preserving patients’ ability to obtain care
through telehealth is critically important, particularly for people in rural areas, lowincome communities, communities of color, and survivors of intimate partner violence,
who already face the steepest barriers to in-person care. Reinstating the in-person
dispensing requirement undermines access to abortion and miscarriage care—and
patients’ health and autonomy—nationwide. If the Court does not step in to block this
request by a single state, it will impact people across the country. Indeed, if forced to
2
travel to a healthcare provider to pick up mifepristone, many people in states where
abortion remains legally protected will be unable to obtain mifepristone in a timely
fashion, and others will be unable to access this essential medication at all. Neither
science nor law supports upending the safe and effective ways this medication has been
delivered for the past five years, and certainly nothing supports doing so on an emergency
basis and without the benefit of the full administrative record. This Court should
therefore stay or vacate the Fifth Circuit’s decision.
ARGUMENT
I.
Applicants Are Likely to Succeed in Showing that the FDA Did Not Act
Arbitrarily by Eliminating the In-Person Dispensing Requirement, Which Did
Not Enhance Mifepristone's Well-Established Safety and Efficacy.
Applicants are likely to succeed in showing that the FDA did not act arbitrarily
by eliminating the in-person dispensing requirement for mifepristone, including when
dispensed by mail or through pharmacies. Decades of scientific evidence and real-world
use by millions demonstrate that using mifepristone for medication abortion is
exceptionally safe and effective, including when the medication is dispensed by mail and
at pharmacies after receiving care through telehealth. Indeed, mifepristone’s safety is
endorsed by—and restrictions on telehealth access to mifepristone are overwhelmingly
opposed by—major medical associations such as the American Medical Association,
American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, American Academy of Pediatrics,
Society for Academic Specialists in General Obstetrics and Gynecology, Society of Family
Planning, Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, and Society of General Internal
3
Medicine.3 Consistent with this scientific consensus, between 2011 and 2023, the FDA
repeatedly affirmed mifepristone’s exceptional safety and efficacy record.4
Mifepristone is central to reproductive healthcare today. Medication abortion
using mifepristone is the most common method of abortion in the United States, both
because of its safety and efficacy and because many patients prefer it.5 Medication
abortion is approved in more than 100 countries and accounts for half of all abortions in
most high-income nations.6 In 2023, mifepristone was used in 63% of all abortions in the
United States.7
The FDA approved mifepristone in 2000 after a thorough, nearly five-year
scientific review determined it was safe for widespread use. Hundreds of high-quality
studies conducted since that initial approval confirm mifepristone’s safety. Indeed,

mifepristone has been part of over 600 published clinical trials and discussed in over 900
medical reviews.8 Mifepristone has an exceedingly low rate of serious adverse events.9
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (“National Academies”),
a highly respected nonpartisan advisory institution, concluded that the risks of
medication abortion involving mifepristone are “similar in magnitude to the reported
risks of serious adverse effects of commonly used prescription and over-the-counter
medications.”10 Beyond abortion, mifepristone is regularly prescribed for the
management and treatment of miscarriages, which can be life-threatening without
adequate treatment.11
In 2016, the FDA modified mifepristone’s Risk Evaluation and Mitigation
Strategies (“REMS”) and labeling based on evolutions in evidence-based practice. These
changes included allowing prescription by a broader set of qualified healthcare providers
and updating the labeling to reflect use at a wider range of gestational durations and to
remove references to multiple in-person clinic visits, consistent with the evidence-based

standard of care. In support of its decision, the FDA relied on a wealth of updated data,
including more than eighty high-quality studies analyzing outcomes for hundreds of
thousands of patients, as well as years of real-world evidence underscoring mifepristone’s
safety without these impediments.12 The FDA’s 2016 decision cited a host of studies
showing that the rate of major adverse events was roughly 0.3%.13 Recent peer-reviewed
research confirms that serious complications among mifepristone users remain extremely
rare, and FDA data from more than two decades of mandatory reporting of any
potentially associated fatalities show that the number of deaths associated with
mifepristone use remains infinitesimally low (fewer than forty recorded deaths out of
more than 7.5 million uses since mifepristone’s approval, or 0.00048%—and none of those
deaths can be causally attributed to mifepristone).14
Given its exceptional safety record, leading medical associations have long called
on the FDA to lift all of its medically unnecessary restrictions on mifepristone, including
its in-person dispensing requirement, and instead regulate mifepristone like other
prescription drugs.15 After extensive review of real-world data and peer-reviewed
studies, the FDA found in 2021 that mifepristone would “remain safe and effective for

medication abortion if the in-person dispensing requirement is removed.”16 In 2023, the
FDA formalized its 2021 conclusion, permanently removing this requirement. Removal
of the in-person dispensing requirement meaningfully increased access to mifepristone
without compromising the safety or efficacy of this important medication. However,
despite this change, the FDA continues to unnecessarily restrict mifepristone more
stringently than other drugs with similarly low risks, and in 2023 maintained all of its
restrictions on mifepristone other than the in-person dispensing requirement.17
Telehealth, an increasingly common method of healthcare delivery across all areas
of medicine, is now a standard method of care for medication abortion in the United States
and around the world.18 Unlike the in-person dispensing requirement, which forced every
patient to travel to a health center just to pick up their mifepristone prescription, even
when there was no clinical need for any in-person care, telehealth care is individually
tailored to each patient’s circumstances, with in-person testing or examination ordered
when appropriate based on individualized patient screening. Rigorous studies from the

In October 2025, a federal court found that the FDA has failed to justify its current overly restrictive
regulation of mifepristone compared to other prescription drugs under the governing statute. See Purcell

past several years resoundingly reinforce that patients can be screened and counseled for
medication abortion via telehealth as safely and effectively as in-person screening and
dispensing.19 For instance, a study of over 6,000 telehealth patients demonstrated that
telehealth-prescribed medication abortion provides statistically equivalent safe and
effective results as in-person care.20 Numerous other studies and systematic reviews
reached the same conclusion, further supporting that access to mifepristone via
telehealth provides necessary care with the same safety levels and effective outcomes.21
Given the extensive safety data and the millions of safe outcomes for people across
the country, Applicants are likely to succeed in showing that the FDA’s decision to lift
the in-person dispensing requirement was not arbitrary or capricious.

II.
A Stay or Vacatur Is in the Public Interest Because Forcing Patients to Travel
to a Health Center to Access Mifepristone Endangers Patients’ Health and
Autonomy.
Requiring that mifepristone be dispensed in person at a health center will result
in immediate and irreparable harm to patients across the country. The ability to fill a
prescription for mifepristone through the mail or at a local pharmacy after consultation
with a healthcare provider is critical for patients needing abortion and miscarriage care,
particularly for populations most in need of access to medication abortion for their health
and autonomy. Shuttering this essential avenue of healthcare puts people’s health at risk
nationwide; in the face of such unprecedented disruption and irreparable harm, a stay or
vacatur of the Fifth Circuit’s decision is in the public interest.
A.
Telehealth Provides Essential Access to Abortion Care.
Telehealth is indispensable to legal abortion care. Medication abortion now
accounts for 63% of all abortions in the United States, and more than one in four abortions
is obtained via telehealth services.22 In certain states, the reliance on telehealth is even
more pronounced. For example, in 2024, 40% of abortions in Delaware and 34% of
abortions in Nevada were obtained through telehealth.23 Telehealth is not a peripheral
convenience; it is essential for many patients to access the care they need. Disrupting this
key component of the nation’s healthcare infrastructure reduces access, particularly for
populations who have difficulty traveling to an abortion provider.

Telehealth has also been essential for meeting dramatically increased demand in
states where abortion is legal.24 Abortion bans have placed extraordinary strain on the
remaining brick-and-mortar providers in states with legal protections for abortion, who
face an influx of appointments from patients who must travel across state lines for care.
Telehealth enables providers in states where abortion is legal to absorb this surge in
patients and helps mitigate long appointment wait times that would otherwise delay
care.25
Even setting aside the increased demand from out-of-state patients traveling for
care, telehealth is crucial in states that protect abortion access to overcome the significant
geographic barriers that can make it difficult to serve residents in need of medical care.
The average American now lives 86 miles from an abortion provider, making in-person
access to time-sensitive care logistically difficult or impossible for many patients.26
Telehealth plays a key role in promoting equitable access by reaching patients who might
otherwise be unable to travel to a clinic in time to access care.27 And mounting concerns
around a national shortage of obstetrician-gynecologists and rising rates of maternal

healthcare deserts further emphasize the importance of telehealth as a means of ensuring
that patients can access reproductive healthcare when and where they need it.28
B.
Forcing Patients to Travel to a Health Center to Access Mifepristone
Will Impact Already Vulnerable Communities the Most.
Telehealth is especially crucial to protect abortion access for vulnerable
communities, including people living in poverty, people living in rural areas, people
subject to intimate partner violence, people who cannot get time off from work or find
childcare, and people of color. When patients can no longer access mifepristone via
telehealth, people in these already marginalized groups are the most likely to suffer.
Abortion patients are disproportionately poor: nearly half of all abortion patients
live below the federal poverty line.29 When abortion restrictions prevent patients from
being able to access the care they seek, a variety of harms ensues. For patients living in
or near poverty, being denied an abortion deepens the very economic hardship that
already constrains their access to care. Women denied abortions are nearly four times
more likely to be living in poverty six months after being denied care than women who
were able to access abortions.30 They also have more than three times greater odds of
being unemployed and are more likely to be enrolled in public safety net programs than

women who were able to access abortion care.31 Being denied an abortion also increases
women’s debt and negative public financial records, including bankruptcies and
evictions.32
Telehealth is uniquely positioned to prevent these outcomes because it directly
addresses many of the barriers to healthcare that poverty creates. Nearly 20% of
abortion patients report postponing purchasing food to cover costs associated with their
abortion—costs that include not only the cost of the abortion itself but also
transportation, missed wages, and childcare.33 Households below 200% of the federal
poverty line are far more likely to lack vehicle access, making travel to a clinic logistically
impossible for many.34 Telehealth eliminates or reduces these secondary costs by allowing
patients to seek care without traveling, missing work, or securing childcare.35 Research
confirms that telehealth reduces missed appointments and improves continuity of care—
outcomes that are particularly vital for working-class and low-income patients whose
access to paid leave, reliable transportation, and flexible schedules is limited.36

Restricting telehealth also disproportionately harms rural and geographically
isolated communities. More than one-third of women of reproductive age live more than
an hour away from their nearest abortion facility.37 Research confirms the concrete
consequences of these distance barriers: an increase in travel distance from 0–50 miles to
50–100 miles has been found to reduce abortion rates by 16%.38 And telehealth is
particularly vital for Indigenous communities, who face severe barriers due to federal
law restrictions on Indian Health Service facilities and geographic isolation on Tribal
lands.39
Congress expressly limited the FDA’s authority to impose REMS restrictions that
result in these kinds of harms. The REMS statute requires that FDA-imposed
restrictions on approved drugs shall “not be unduly burdensome on patient access to the
drug, considering in particular . . . patients who have difficulty accessing healthcare (such
as patients in rural or medically underserved areas).”40 Requiring every mifepristone
patient in the country to travel in person to a hospital, clinic, or medical office just to pick
up their prescription imposes exactly this kind of unlawful burden.

While Respondents claimed below that restricting access to mifepristone helps
survivors of intimate partner violence,41 the evidence overwhelmingly demonstrates the
opposite: cutting off telehealth access to mifepristone places survivors of intimate partner
violence at much higher risk. Nearly half of women in the United States have been
affected by intimate partner violence, and women of color, women living in rural areas,
women in poverty, and noncitizens are disproportionately impacted.42 Abusers often
exert coercive control over survivors’ reproductive choices, including through birth
control sabotage and forced pregnancies. Research from the Centers for Disease Control
(“CDC”) shows that nearly 10.3 million women have experienced a partner trying to force
pregnancy or refusing to use contraception, and survivors of intimate partner violence
are nearly three times more likely to conceal an abortion from their partners due to safety
concerns.43 For these survivors, the ability to access abortion care discreetly, without an
abuser’s knowledge, is a lifeline.
Telehealth serves that function precisely because it offers survivors privacy,
autonomy, and a means of accessing care outside the surveillance of an abuser.
Restricting telehealth access to mifepristone forces survivors to navigate barriers that
abusers exploit: the need to travel to a clinic, arrange childcare, take time off work, and
explain absences to a controlling partner. Research has found that the privacy afforded
41

by telehealth may better facilitate patients’ disclosure of coercion, enabling survivors to
speak more openly with providers about their experiences in settings where an abusive
partner is less likely to monitor or control the interaction.44 As advocates have warned,
restricting access to mifepristone limits survivors’ ability to access abortion care, thus
increasing their risk of health complications, violence, and homicide.45 These harms fall
hardest on survivors in marginalized communities who already face the steepest barriers
to in-person care.
Along with the myriad harms discussed above, restricting telehealth access to
mifepristone will disproportionately harm people of color and immigrant communities
who already face greater barriers to accessing healthcare, including abortion. Women of
color account for a majority of those seeking abortion care.46 Factors such as time, travel,
and the general costs associated with accessing abortion care already prohibit many
women of color from accessing mifepristone in a timely manner.47 Telehealth addresses
many of these barriers by eliminating the need for long-distance travel and reducing the
secondary costs—missed wages, childcare, transportation—that fall most heavily on
communities of color.

The same is true for immigrant communities. Immigrants are generally less likely
to drive than their native-born counterparts, making travel to in-person appointments
particularly difficult.48 And telehealth addresses not only logistical barriers but also
linguistic ones: approximately 20% of patients who are asylum applicants do not pursue
medical care due to fear of miscommunication or not understanding their provider.49
Telehealth can help bridge this gap by connecting patients with language-concordant
providers who may not be available in their immediate geographic area. For communities
already navigating the intersection of immigration status, poverty, and limited English
proficiency, telehealth is often the only realistic path to timely reproductive care.
Eliminating it risks leaving these patients with nowhere to turn.
C.
Restricting Abortion Access Worsens Public Health Outcomes.
Telehealth for abortion, like abortion more generally, is essential to public health.
Contrary to Respondents’ claims below that restricting mifepristone access would save
women from harm,50 it is the restriction of abortion access—not its availability—that
endangers patients’ health and lives. Access to safe abortion is a critical component of the
broader healthcare system; curtailing it through telehealth restrictions produces the
very harms Respondents claim to oppose.

The historical record is unambiguous on this point. The gradual legalization of
abortion in the years leading up to Roe v. Wade reduced maternal mortality among people
of color by 30–40%.51 Research since Dobbs confirms that this pattern is now reversing.
The racial dimensions of these harms are particularly stark. Black women are already
two to four times more likely than white women to experience maternal mortality or
morbidity.52 Abortion bans in thirteen states have also increased infant mortality, with an
estimated 478 additional infant deaths above what would have been expected.53 Research
following Texas’s 2021 abortion ban estimated a 6–13% increase in infant mortality.54
Black infants have been hit hardest, dying at a rate 11% higher than expected following
abortion bans.55 These are not abstract projections. They are documented consequences
of restricting access to care.
Abortion restrictions have also been shown to increase disparities in premature
birth and low birthweight between Black and white infants by 3–6%.56 And state-level
abortion restrictions enacted prior to 2022 were associated with increases in intimate

partner violence–related homicides of women and girls.57 Restricting telehealth access to
mifepristone compounds each of these outcomes by erecting additional barriers to
reproductive healthcare for communities that already bear the greatest burdens.
Restricting mifepristone access will cause profound harm. Abortion access saves
lives, reduces maternal and infant mortality, narrows racial health disparities, and
protects survivors of violence. Telehealth is the mechanism through which hundreds of
thousands of patients access that care. A stay or vacatur is in the public interest because
the Fifth Circuit’s order will cause the gravest harm to those who can least afford it.
CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, amici respectfully urge this Court to grant the
applications and stay or vacate the Fifth’s Circuit’s decision.
