comment: Pregnant people living in states that already limit or ban abortion pill access will likely not benefit from the FDA's new rules.
  According to the Guttmacher Institute, which tracks state laws and policies surrounding abortion, 29 states specifically require physicians to administer medication abortions. Eighteen of those states have already effectively banned the pills' use in telemedicine by requiring a clinician to be in the room when a patient takes the mifepristone. That means sometimes people have to schedule an initial appointment to get the prescription and if the office or clinic is out of stock then the patient has to return for a second visit to take the pill in front the doctor or clinician.
  
  So if this is only required under state A's law, but not federal law or state B's law, what happens when a pregnant person in state A reaches out to a medical provider in state B and gets a telehealth appointment and prescription for mifepristone and the medical provider mails it to them? Can state A go after medical licenses issued by state B? Can state B refuse to extradite that medical provider to state A if A tries to prosecute? Can the medical provider cite doctor patient privileges if A tries to get them to testify in a prosecution of the pregnant person? Will the federal government stop state A from seizing that pregnant person's mail when A suspects it contains mifepristone?
  Lots of unanswered questions, but it seems like those 29 states' laws might not be worth the paper they were printed on.
