On May 1, 2026, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that healthcare providers in all 50 states are temporarily not allowed to give patients one of the medications that make up abortion pills, mifepristone, by mail or through a pharmacy. This means that telehealth is currently unavailable in Illinois.

- Under Illinois law, it is not a crime for pregnant people to end your own pregnancy with abortion pills or by any other method. But what the law says and what happens in reality can be very different.
