Require in-person doctor visits for mifepristone

James Lankford supports requiring an in-person doctor appointment to obtain mifepristone, an abortion medication. He and other congressional Republicans are urging the Department of Health and Human Services and the administration to restore that requirement. The stated goal is to address what he views as safety risks associated with the medication.

Context: The passage describes an appeal to the administration, not an enacted requirement. The call is presented as a joint effort with other congressional Republicans.
