Foley & Lardner LLP partner Kyle Faget commented on the potential legal ramifications for telehealth companies if state legislation were to narrow the definition of permissible contraceptives in the InsideHealthPolicy article, “South Carolina Bill Tees Up Contraception Access Court Battle.”
Faget said that certain adjustments of reproductive health definitions within the legislation could indicate that South Carolina is moving toward restricting access to contraception.
She shared an example of a telehealth company offering access to abortion pills and educational resources on reproductive health issues, which could become liable if someone within South Carolina accessed its website following the law’s implementation.
“The onus is then on companies and educational services on abortion to restrict,” Faget added.
