Attorney General investigating mail-order abortion pills Logan, Simpson Counties

FRANKFORT, Ky. – An investigation of mail-order abortion pills is underway.

According to a release, Attorney General Russell Coleman announced a civil investigation into organizations regarding potential involvement in the unlawful mailing or delivery of abortion pills in Kentucky.

The release states that subpoenas were sent to six gas stations in Christian, Logan, and Simpson counties that advertised the pills.

The subpoenas are for information from the gas stations for advertisements that allegedly read “Pregnant? Don’t want to be? Learn more at Mayday Health.”

The Attorney General’s Office says the gas stations have 20 days to respond or they will face possible legal action to force compliance.

House Bill 3 prohibits the mailing or delivery of abortion-inducing drugs in Kentucky.

The Kentucky Consumer Protection Act prohibits deceptive or misleading communications with Kentuckians.

Mayday Health paid to run the ads at 104 rural gas stations in several states, according to the release.

Coleman asks Kentuckians to report the ads, suspects, and any other unlawful business activities to his office.
