Despite ruling, Mifepristone remains legal in Rhode Island

Governor Dan McKee issued the following update about access to Mifepristone in Rhode Island: "Rhode Island is fortunate to have strong protections in place for reproductive freedom that other states may not have. Despite the federal court ruling in Texas, access to safe reproductive health care like Mifepristone remains legal in Rhode Island. Our Administration is working to ensure continued access to care, which is available through ample supply of medication and surgical means."
