Unpacking the A.G.’s Four Cease-and-Desist Letters on Abortion Drugs

Yesterday we reported how the Arkansas Attorney General has issued cease-and-desist letters to companies responsible for marketing abortion pills to Arkansans in violation of state law.

Arkansas generally prohibits abortion except to save the life of the mother, and state law also prohibits abortion drugs from being delivered or distributed in the state. However, some abortionists ship abortion drugs across state lines. Attorney General Griffin says some of these entities are deliberately targeting women in Arkansas and elsewhere.

On July 29, A.G. Griffin’s office issued cease-and-desist letters to companies associated with Plan C, Mayday Health, and LifeOnEasyPills.org — all of which allegedly promote mail-order abortion drugs to women in Arkansas.

These letters warn the groups that Arkansas law generally prohibits the shipment or delivery of abortion drugs into the state. They also challenge misleading claims on the groups’ websites about the safety of abortion pills.

For example, the A.G.’s letter says Plan C describes abortion pills as “very safe,” but the A.G.’s legal team points out a 2025 study found that more than 10% of women who used abortion drugs experienced sepsis, infection, hemorrhaging, or another serious adverse event.

The cease-and-desist letters allege the pro-abortion advertisements may violate the Arkansas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. If the companies do not stop promoting abortion pills to Arkansans, the letters say they could face a formal investigation and civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation.

The message from the A.G.’s office is clear: Arkansas will not be a target for out-of-state abortion pill traffickers.

We appreciate Attorney General Griffin’s strong pro-life stance and his willingness to hold violators accountable.
