Federal government decides whether you can get abortion pills in the mail

The Constitution makes clear that federal government controls interstate (and international) commerce, and the mail. No one denies that. So the federal government decides whether abortion pills can be ordered online, and whether they are delivered to your doorstep. Abortion pills have had some major technological breakthroughs, and so this is a bigger issue than it would have been 10 years ago. With more drug approvals coming, it will get even bigger.

Usually the federal government makes interstate commerce that would be illegal within the state illegal to do through the mail. For instance, when some states continued prohibition, the federal government limited cross border alcohol shipments. The federal government is under not required to do so.

So from my understanding, you might be able to order the abortion pills through the mail, but the second they get into your possession, you become a criminal.

Which opens up another issue. Anti-abortionists used to claim they would only punish the doctors, and not the pregnant women. If there is no doctor, and just a pregnant woman taking a pill, she is the one that ends up being punished by the laws.

these are prescription only unless something had changed, so there IS a doctor.

This is your typical response, pulling some stupid nonsense out of your nether regions and then refusing to take responsibility to back it up. You're the definition of lazy.

interesting situation..........states do have autonomy to criminalize possession of items that the feds allow people to possess...............this could seriously impact alot of state prohibition laws

How would the states find out you received the pill in the mail?

They can make possession illegal, but it would be almost impossible to enforce without assistance from the Feds.

and you used to be a prosecutor? you seriously do not understand the lengths, and possibilities, governments will go to in order to enforce laws? in order to get most pills, even via snail mail, you need a prescription, which then goes through insurance, which then is entered in to a database that the state has access to...........DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need one such pill, don't go through insurance...

They are not going through everyone's insurance records to randomly find the abortion pill, if the abortion pill is illegal in your state, insurance is not going to cover it anyway. You seen naive. When I was a prosecutor we did not look for crime, we dealt with what came to us.
