A recent study published in Nature Medicine found that a telehealth consultation and mail delivery of abortion pills is safe and effective, with a 97.7% success rate in completing abortions. The study involved over 6,000 patients and also compared the safety and effectiveness of telehealth abortion with in-person prescriptions. The results are comparable with previous studies on abortion safety and effectiveness, adding to the evidence that abortion medications are a reliable option. The study also highlighted the lower cost and reduced need for ultrasound for telehealth prescriptions, making it more accessible and efficient. This study could impact the conversation around telehealth abortion accessibility in the U.S. and support recent FDA approvals.
