> [...] post the phrase "abortion pills can be mailed" on Facebook using a burner account. The post was flagged within seconds [...] Do these messages get flagged worldwide? Interestingly, mailing abortion pills is FDA-approved: > When it comes to the legality of mailing abortion pills, there are several telehealth abortion companies in the U.S., and in 2021 the FDA made it possible and legal to send abortion pills via mail. With the fall of Roe v. Wade, some states have banned that, or will: Arizona and Tennessee, for example. In Texas, it's a criminal act to send abortion pills through the mail. [...] Unfortunately, it is quite important to take emergency contraceptive pills (infant murderer pills) within 72 hours, the quicker the more likely they'll work, so waiting for them to arrive in the mail with the intent to take them is a somewhat risky choice compared to buying them at the drugstore in the morning.

> in 2021 the FDA made it possible and legal to send abortion pills via mail. Even if that prevails over per-state restrictions, I believe that in most jurisdictions it only applies to those with prescribing privileges. Your average Joe or Jane could get in trouble for distributing them even locally. Note that I'm not saying people shouldn't do it anyway. Sometimes defying the law is justified, or even a moral imperative. I'm just saying that we shouldn't claim it's legal. People should not be misled about the risks.

Infant murderer pills? What a load of horseshit. Abortion pills and emergency contraceptive pills are different. Medical abortions (abortion pills) are typically performed by administering a two-drug combination: mifepristone followed by misoprostol. Medical abortion is both safe and effective throughout a range of gestational ages, including the second and third trimester. Medical abortion can be administered safely by the patient at home, without assistance, in the first trimester. Starting with the second trimester, it is recommended to take the second drug in a clinic or provider's office. Medical abortion should not be confused with emergency contraception, which typically involves drugs (such as such as Levonorgestrel or "Plan B") taken soon after intercourse to prevent a pregnancy from beginning. Stop spreading misinformation.
