Abortion with a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol is 96.7 percent effective while abortion with just misoprostol is about 85 percent effective in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Particularly with the safe and effective protocols for self-managed abortion with pills, we already have many of the tools we need to build a future where all people can access the care they need.
Pamela Merritt, Reproaction’s co-director and co-founder, and Dr. Colleen McNicholas, OB-GYN and the Chief Medical Officer of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri shared their insights on self-managed abortion and abortion access.
Reproaction teamed up with Planned Parenthood Advocates in Missouri and the Guild of Silly Heathens for a direct action in Columbia, Missouri centering access to medication abortion.
We look forward to continuing to educate, and empower our communities through information about self-managed abortion.
Different methods vary in safety and effectiveness, but this forum focused on self-managed abortion with pills, which is both safe and effective.
