Role of Science in Medication Abortion Access

Science plays a crucial role in the discussion on medication abortion access, challenging the misinformation surrounding its safety. Studies highlight that mifepristone, a key element in medication abortion, is overwhelmingly safe with minimal complications. Data indicates major complication rates as low as 0.31 per 100 abortions, reinforcing its safety profile. Despite efforts to mislabel medication abortion as dangerous, scientific evidence refutes these claims, emphasizing the need to rely on accurate information.
