Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman filed a civil lawsuit against Mayday Health, a New York-based activist organization, alleging violations of the Kentucky Consumer Protection Act. The legal action follows Mayday Health’s use of airplane banners and gas station advertisements to promote mail-order abortion pills.

While Mayday Health does not distribute the drugs directly, the lawsuit claims the group directs individuals to outside providers via telehealth and mail-forwarding services to bypass state laws established in 2022, which prohibit the mailing or delivery of abortion-inducing drugs within Kentucky. Coleman characterized the organization’s activities as a “brazen attempt by out-of-state activists to interfere with state law and local values.”
