Abortion Pills in Maryland

BALTIMORE — Policies restricting abortions in states such as Texas may lead more people to seek abortion medication online, according to a University of Maryland released in October.

The study, which looked at requests for pills to the telemedicine abortion service Women on Web between October 2019 and August 2020, found that states with more restrictive abortion policies had the highest rates of online requests. Texas had the fifth-highest rate at 14.4 requests per 100,000 people, behind Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, and Tennessee.

What are abortion pills?

Mifepristone and misoprostol pills can terminate a pregnancy if taken together within 10 weeks of a person’s last menstrual period, said Dr. Lauren Johnson, an obstetrician-gynecologist at UT Health Austin’s Women’s Health Institute. They are different from the morning-after pill, levonorgestrel, which can prevent a pregnancy if taken after having unprotected sex. mifegest

Mifepristone is first taken to block the hormone that prepares the uterus for pregnancy. It must be followed up within 24 to 48 hours by misoprostol, which induces contractions to empty the uterus.

These medication abortions, or non-surgical abortions, have become increasingly common since the FDA approved the use of mifepristone in 2000, Thaxton said. An estimated 39% of U.S. abortions in 2017 were completed through medication, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a progressive reproductive rights research and policy organization.

“The more we make it available and usable for women, the more I think we’ll see that number increase,” Thaxton said.

Experts like Thaxton and Aiken say these medicines are highly safe and effective, but FDA guidelines still require mifepristone to be directly dispensed by a qualified health provider.
