Abortion pills offered via telehealth as safe as in-person medication abortions, study finds
A new study offers additional evidence that abortion pills are safe to prescribe — even remotely.
With the Supreme Court just a month away from hearing arguments over access to the abortion medication mifepristone, a new study published on Wednesday in Nature Medicine offers additional evidence that abortion pills are safe to prescribe — even remotely.
Researchers looked at the records of more than 6,000 patients who received medication abortion — a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol — through pills delivered via mail after a telehealth consultation conducted in 28% of cases through video calls and in 72% of cases through text messages.
