Erica’s pilots that day were volunteers with Elevated Access, a nonprofit set up last year to help people obtain abortions, often across state lines. In North Carolina, an anti-abortion, church-backed pregnancy center called Mountain Area Pregnancy Services confronted a harassment incident. Before Dobbs, the group’s abortion services operated on a budget of $20,000 per month. But the dearth of pharmacies willing to offer abortion medication meant that Honeybee soon became the main provider of the online-ordered, home-delivered pills. Abortion medication — which now accounts for more than half of abortions in the United States — produces roughly 40 percent of Honeybee’s revenue.

A nascent but rapidly growing industry of abortion providers administers abortions only through telemedicine, with no physical clinics. A federal court ruling Wednesday that aims to ban the mailing of abortion pills could make it much harder for them to operate. Honeybee, which fills the prescriptions for most of them and is the largest mail-order pharmacy for abortion pills in the United States, said it would continue to mail the pills to the 24 states where it’s allowed. “As a licensed pharmacy, we abide by the F.D.A.’s policies and regulations,” said Jessica Nouhavandi, co-founder and president of Honeybee. Rulings in the lower courts, if they go into effect, could severely limit the availability of the drug, including allowing it to be administered only to patients in a doctor’s office.
