Abortion with pills – or medication abortion – is safe, effective, and used by women around the world to end their pregnancies on their own terms.
So why does the United States make women jump through hoops to get a medication abortion?
Anti-choice politicians will say it’s for your protection, but we know that is bogus. A bipartisan commission of medical experts recently found it is safer than many over the counter medications already easily available in your local pharmacy or online.[1]
Playing politics with medication abortion is just another way of denying women access to abortion.
We have to fight back.
When someone decides to end a pregnancy, they should be able to do so safely and with dignity whether they chose to see a provider or self-manage their own abortion. It’s time to expand access to abortion with pills.
