Moreno Asks DOJ to Review Ohio Doctor’s Abortion-Pills Case

Outlets agree Moreno asked the Justice Department to review an Ohio doctor’s case involving allegations that he forced abortion pills on a woman and to consider federal charges. Moreno also called for changing rules that allowed abortion medication to be prescribed remotely and mailed. Center outlets describe the case and Moreno’s request, including accounts from prosecutors, the woman and medical organizations. Right-leaning outlets stress his argument that Biden-era mail-order rules enabled the alleged abuse and his call to restore in-person dispensing.
