Medication abortion is safe and effective, including when provided through telehealth.
Over one in four abortions in the U.S. now occur via telehealth, not because of politics, but because the data support its safety and patients choose it.

Abortion pills remain undefeated post-Dobbs.

On the flip side, they are cheaper and more available than ever.
Today, Louisiana is asking a federal court to reinstate medically unnecessary, burdensome restrictions that would effectively end telehealth access to mifepristone nationwide.
Let's be clear: medication abortion via telehealth is safe and effective. This is about limiting patient access.
At least 101 studies in 26 countries over three decades have found that medication abortions are very safe. Pass it on.

Abortion is a safe, common health care service to end a pregnancy.
One in four women will have an abortion by the age of 45.
"To me, as a mother who was manipulated into relinquishing her son, this 'third option' [of adoption] isn’t a bridge — it’s a trap draped in the language of bravery. It is dangerous, expensive propaganda."
