California is about to pass legislation (AB 260) to allow healthcare providers in CA to mail these products anonymously to other states, so it’s mostly a moot point; red states barely have enough resources for their own states, it’s unlikely they put up any material effort in this regard (chasing providers in other states at scale, especially now that shield laws aren't just attempting to shield against liability, but it's enabling provider anonymity).
New York, Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Washington have passed similar laws that allow doctors to prescribe abortion pills anonymously, and Pennsylvania is considering similar legislation [1].
