"Mifepristone’s safety record outpaces that of penicillin or Viagra.

Why then would our nation’s public health leaders want to investigate a medication that has a track record other medications would envy?" Read this op-ed from Dr. Daniel Grossman in @thehill.com thehill.com/opinion/heal...

It's vital to understand whether people attain their reproductive preferences or not.

We found that realization of pregnancy preferences varied by sociodemographic characteristics--like education level & racial identity--highlighting reproductive inequities. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

New research shows that the incidence of ectopic pregnancy among people seeking abortion is extremely low.

The same study found that the 3 history-based screening criteria used in medication abortion care does not reliably identify ectopic pregnancies. www.whijournal.com/article/S104...

Denying abortion has lifelong consequences. People forced to continue pregnancies face higher risks to their health, more financial instability, & fewer opportunities to pursue their goals.

YouTube is often described as a haven for anti-abortion sentiment.

However, researchers recently documented a diversity of political opinion in the comment sections of abortion plotline videos, with more comments coded as “pro-choice” than “anti-abortion.” www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Telehealth abortion care is just as safe and effective as in-person care – and it’s changed the abortion care landscape.

Now, 1 in 4 abortions are provided via telehealth.

The Care Post-Roe research team interviewed 36 clinicians to document patient scenarios with pregnancy-related care.

They found that restrictive post-Dobbs laws stop clinicians from using their knowledge & experience to prevent future health harm. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

"They told me they couldn’t help me unless I was actively dying."

Restrictive post-Dobbs laws don’t just prohibit abortion. They delay or deny abortion care necessary to prevent future health harm, according to new Care Post-Roe research. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Many medication abortion patients are still required to have ultrasounds and other tests, due to clinic policies.

Our new study shows clinicians can safely & effectively replace ultrasonography & pelvic examination with history-based screening. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A new study examined how major U.S. newspapers covered medication abortion from before & after the Dobbs decision.

Less than half of articles included basic facts on medication abortion. Only 1 in 5 articles included a personal story of someone seeking abortion. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

A new study uncovers astronomical travel burdens, costs, and delays in abortion care post-Roe.

For most people living in states with abortion bans, travel burdens increased dramatically and the likelihood of second-trimester abortion more than doubled. doi.org/10.2105/AJPH...

📣💥📣 TODAY is Repro Day of Action! 📣💥📣

Without action from state leaders, California’s family planning and abortion access safety net will be decimated, with patients unable to access vital health services and health centers forced to lay off health workers.

Mifepristone, an abortion pill, is well-researched, safe, and effective. Pass it on.

Everyone loves someone who has had an abortion.

People living in states that were restrictive to abortion rights/access were less likely to agree that in-clinic medication abortion is safe compared to those in protective abortion policy environments, according to a study from 2022. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40029754/
