Receiving Abortion Medication Through Mail Was Safe, Effective

About 98% of people who received mifepristone and misoprostol through a mail-order pharmacy experienced complete abortions, according to new data reported in JAMA Internal Medicine. Only 0.6% experienced serious adverse events that resulted in hospitalization, which is similar to the complication rate associated with in-person dispensing of abortion medications. None of the serious adverse events were attributed to mail-order dispensing.
