""There's so much discussion about the restrictions on medication abortion that are not evidence-based. It's exciting to see science pointing us in another direction, where access could be expanded.""
""We found that people did a really good job at self-assessing their eligibility," Grossman told NPR, adding that about 168 patients participated in the study."
Recent studies affirm the safety of mifepristone and misoprostol, indicating they meet FDA criteria for over-the-counter availability. Researchers found that patients seeking medication abortions effectively self-assessed their eligibility using a prototype package. This challenges existing restrictions on medication abortion, which are deemed not evidence-based. The findings suggest a potential expansion of access to abortion pills, countering political narratives that misinterpret safety data.
