"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...

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...

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...
