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.
""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."
