The pills are mailed from an Indian pharmacy which, along with Aid Access's doctors, is beyond the reach of US and state authorities. James Bopp, the general counsel of the National Right to Life Committee, told NBC:"The reality is state laws have limited extraterritorial effects. "There's no question that the federal government has much more authority, and we hope to get them on our side to make these state laws much more effective."Dr Gomperts told NBC:"It was clear in the last few years that access in the US was getting harder and harder and harder."
"We started off mostly with helping service women in the military in Iraq and Afghanistan, in South Korea and Japan", she said, because US personnel in those countries had limited access.Dr Gomperts said that the service has received 4,000 requests a day since Roe v Wade was overturned, up from 600 to 700 a day previously.But Dr Gomperts, who was named by Time magazine as one of its 100 most influential people of 2020, said she hopes Aid Access will eventually become unnecessary.
