This abortion method doesn't involve doctors and many of them consider it safe
Briefly

Dr. Maya Bass, an abortion provider from Philadelphia, made monthly trips to Oklahoma to offer abortions, motivated by a severe shortage of providers in the area. Despite challenges, including personal discomfort during flights and using vacation time, she has dedicated herself to bridging the gap in abortion care. With a significant shift to medication abortions, which now account for 63% of all procedures in the U.S., Bass emphasizes the importance of patient connection and support, aiming to diminish stigma around the service she provides.
"I want to be that provider who lets people feel heard and helps break that stigma," she says.
"Being able to just tell someone how to take pills and then know that the issue they were dealing with would be resolved just felt like such a great contribution to health care," she recalls.
