Study Confirms Safety and Effectiveness of Telehealth Abortion Pills

A study published in Nature Medicine found that abortion pills prescribed via telehealth are safe and effective, supporting the FDA's assessment. The research, which examined over 6,000 patients, showed that medication abortion via telehealth was effective for 97.7% of patients and safe, with 99.7% not experiencing serious adverse events. The study comes as the Supreme Court prepares to hear a case on mifepristone, a key drug in medication abortions, which could impact access to medication abortion nationwide.
