Medication abortionāmost often a two-pill combination of mifepristone and misoprostolāhas become the backbone of abortion care across the country, accounting for about 63% of all abortions in 2023. A new bill from Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), backed by Sen. Ted Budd (R-NC), would revoke the FDAās approval of mifepristone for abortion and effectively ban its use nationwide, even in states where abortion remains legal.
For North Carolinian Charlotte Isenberg, access to mifepristone for a self-managed medication abortion meant the difference between being forced to stay pregnant with no aid and becoming the first in her family to attend collegeāand her story isnāt unique.
