In a letter to Planned Parenthood of Ohio, for example, State Attorney General Dave Yost stated that all abortions should be delayed and if the organization did not respond accordingly the "Department of Health will take all appropriate measures." 10 The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the American Medical Association (AMA) have both issued statements criticizing state governors for preventing access to abortion. In addition to filing briefs against State attempts to ban elective abortions, AGs from 21 states also sent a letter to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health and Human Services (HHS) to make it easier to access medication abortion during this time via telehealth.	./cache/cord-336499-5flknpp4.txt	./txt/cord-336499-5flknpp4.txt
