was appropriately approved, and is appropriately regu-
lated, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 
(21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.), and that such approval under 
such Act preempts any State law establishing, imple-
menting, or enforcing— 
(1) any requirement that medication abortion 
be dispensed by a health care practitioner in person; 
or 
(2) any prohibition or restriction on prescribing 
or dispensing medication abortion by means of tele-
