What: Researchers used electronic medical records to compare telehealth patients who ask for the abortion pill for future use to those getting them for current pregnancies. Those asking for the abortion pill before they need it were much more likely to be white and less likely to be in “high-vulnerability counties” versus pregnant patients.

Key Line: “We observed substantial demand for advance provision of abortion medications through telehealth throughout the year and across geographies; notable surges in demand were associated with key political events. “
