Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has signed on with more than a dozen other state attorneys general warning two pharmacies against selling abortion medication.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.
The measure was led by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, who wrote that he and his fellow Republican attorneys general, including Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, wanted to offer “thoughts on the current legal landscape.” In the letter, the chief legal officers for the states claim the Biden administration’s Office of Legal Counsel opinion that the U.S. Postal Service should “disregard” the text in federal law “fails to stand up even to the slightest amount of scrutiny.”The attorneys general also emphasize that laws in their states individually ban mailing abortion pills.
A 2021 state law bans abortion drugs from being administered “unless the physician is physically present where and when the initial dose of the drug is consumed.”
