Banning abortion has serious economic consequences. The Turnaway Study found that people who are denied abortions are less likely to have enough money to cover expenses like food, housing, and transportation even years later.

Abortions are a normal, essential part of reproductive health care.

Feelings of regret after an abortion are rare. The majority of #TurnawayStudy participants reported feeling relief even years after their abortion.

Over one in four abortions in the U.S. now occur via telehealth, not because of politics, but because data supports its safety and patients choose it.

If Blanche’s DOJ ultimately reinterprets the Comstock Act to prohibit mailing abortion medication nationwide, it could prevent people in states with abortion bans from receiving abortion pills through the mail to end their pregnancies safely at home.

We have over 100 studies that prove that abortion pills, including mifepristone, are extremely safe. We can’t stand by as anti-abortion groups continue to undermine established science.

Medication abortion care is popular. There is growing public support for over-the-counter access and advance provision for medication abortion, particularly among those living in states with abortion restrictions.

Despite what anti-abortion activists claim, abortion pills are extraordinarily safe. The real danger is the disinformation and junk science designed to create a culture of fear around basic health care.

Medication abortions can be taken safely at home, meaning that patients can be surrounded by loved ones, in their pajamas, receiving essential health care.

Mifepristone is used for abortion care in over 60% of all clinic-accessed abortions. Abortion is essential, normal health care.

The FDA first approved mifepristone 25 years ago. The attempt to block access to mifepristone is about limiting abortion access and controlling patients. It has nothing to do with science.

Discovering a pregnancy in the second trimester, or even later, happens more often than commonly believed: One in 13.5 pregnancies are discovered after 12 weeks, and one in 475 pregnancies after 20 weeks.

Political agendas have no place in abortion clinics. Political agendas have no place at your OB-GYN’s office. Political agendas have no place in the emergency room.

Access to abortion care gives people the freedom to build lives on their own terms. The Turnaway Study found that women who were able to get abortions were twice as likely to achieve educational and career goals as women who were denied abortion care.

Medication abortion can also treat unresolved miscarriages. “We will always continue to need access to mifepristone and misoprostol, even in a place where abortion is regulated more heavily," said ANSIRH's Lauren Ralph.

Criminalizing abortion care hurts everyone, even people who lose a wanted pregnancy. Anti-abortion advocates are known to stigmatize and criminalize women for their pregnancy outcomes – including miscarriage.

Mifepristone, one of the two drugs commonly used together in a medication abortion, is very safe and effective. The attempt to block access to mifepristone is about limiting abortion access and controlling patients. It has nothing to do with science.

Abortion care should be guided by evidence, not politics.
