After news broke on Friday that the U.S. Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that protected abortion rights on a federal level, people on social media started to discuss the fact that abortion pills can be sent via mail, sometimes offering to send pills to those left without abortion access — that is, until Meta stepped in.
According to Motherboard, the social media giant swiftly removed posts with phrases like “I will send you abortion pills” and mentions of the specific drugs “mifepristone and misoprostol” which end early pregnancies. Motherboard also found that even mentioning that abortion pills can be sent via mail (legally, mind you) resulted in swift removal.
