Self-Managed Abortion In The News
Nowadays it is safe and easy to induce an early abortion at home thanks to the advent of medication abortion, also called “the abortion pill.” (The term is a misnomer, as medication abortion actually involves two different drugs, usually taken about 24 hours apart, which cause a miscarriage.) Almost 40% of abortions in the U.S. are done via this method, which is approved for use up to 10 weeks of pregnancy. These abortions take place in the privacy of one’s home.
