The Biden administration’s permanent lifting of restrictions on at-home abortions could cause serious harm to women, let alone the unborn.
Abortion activists and other groups are pushing to expand ‘telemedicine abortions’ after significant efforts leading up to the lifting of restrictions.
Since 2000, the FDA has placed the chemical abortion protocol of mifepristone and misoprostol—allowed in the U.S. for abortions up to 10 weeks in a pregnancy—under its Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) list, requiring it to be prescribed in-person in a hospital, clinic, or medical office.
According to local media, nearly 100,000 at-home abortions have since been carried out under the new rules established in March.
The first-of-its-kind animal research of chemical abortion pill RU-486 points to ‘clear distress’ in aborted animals, but not those who miscarry.
The move from the Obama administration comes at a time when the abortion industry is facing pressure from state laws, and sees the market moving toward ‘medication abortions.’
