mifepristone

Connecticut’s top elected officials are reassuring residents that medication abortion remains available by mail in the state, as access to it is debated at the national level.

Connecticut Attorney General William Tong said the outcome of the U.S. Supreme Court mifepristone case could threaten the state’s abortion rights.

U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) visited Planned Parenthood in New Haven on Monday to urge the courts to stay out of reproductive health decisions.

Officials are assuring Connecticut residents of continued access to mifepristone despite a Texas federal judge’s ruling that will restrict nationwide access to the abortion pill.
