As workarounds while the legal process is played out should this judge issue a ruling banning mifepristone, this article explained that 8 abortion providers (who mail pills to women throughout the United States) will switch to sending out misoprostol-only pill regimens to their patients. Women will also still be able to order mifepristone pills from outside the United States.

It has been allowed for years now for governors to block the prescription of Ivermectin and HCQ, which were shown to work, off label, to cure "the virus". These were life sparing medications, not anything used with the intention to end a life, and yet this was acceptable to deprive people of being healed.

Pharmacies were threatened with being shut down for filling these prescriptions, so no one would touch them.

The doctors were threatened with loss of their license if they prescribed them.

Same scenario here. Interference in the doctor\patient relationship. There's now a history of it being allowed, which is unfortunate.
Not filling a prescription for a non-FDA approved drug that people wanted to take for a non-related illness is not the same as suddenly stopping people from obtaining a medication that has been FDA approved and used successfully for many years, just because a politician doesn't like somebody somewhere getting an abortion.
