He said that the FDA's ruling on the pill's safety and efficacy could not be overturned by states that wanted to restrict access to abortion.
The US Supreme Court overturned 50 years of precedent over Americans' right to abortion.
Garland said that women who reside in states that have banned access to comprehensive reproductive care must be allowed to seek care in states where it is legal. Individuals are free to inform and counsel each other about the reproductive care that is available in other states.
In the US, at- home abortions have become more common since the FDA approved the abortion pill in 2000. In 2020, medication abortion with pills accounted for more than half of all abortions in the country.
The FDA approved abortion pills to be sent by mail. The ban on mail-order abortion pills was lifted in April 2021. When Americans were told not to travel and to avoid in-person treatments, the goal was to make sure safe abortion care.
The abortion pill was the only prescription medication banned from mail delivery by the Supreme Court.

Mifepristone is used to block the production of a hormone that is needed to sustain a pregnant woman.
After that, they take a drug that causes the uterus to contract and push the embryo or fetus out of their body, according to a doctor.

One to four hours after taking it, a patient will experience cramping and bleeding.
Studies show that using both drugs in tandem leads to better outcomes because it prevents the need for surgery to remove the fetus. A patient will have an appointment with a doctor to make sure the abortion is completed.
