North Carolina women are at risk from illegal, unregulated abortion pills being shipped into the state despite SB20, which bans direct mail of abortion drugs. These pills, often sourced from rogue websites and foreign suppliers, are not FDA-approved and bypass essential medical safeguards like informed consent and ultrasounds. Without proper supervision, women face serious health risks, including hemorrhaging, infection, and even death. Some websites encourage DIY abortions, leaving women to handle life-threatening complications alone.

The Ensuring Patient Safety w/Mail Order Meds Act (HB553) strengthens North Carolina’s laws by making it a felony to illegally ship abortion pills into the state, holding out-of-state abortion pill distributors accountable, and creating civil remedies for those harmed. With an estimated 2,000 illegal shipments per month, this bill ensures only FDA-approved drugs are distributed, requires entities shipping abortion pills to register as NC businesses, and empowers women and families to pursue justice against dangerous, unlawful practices. We must act now to end abortion-by-mail and protect vulnerable women from unsafe, unregulated abortions.
