The majority of abortions in the US use a two-pill regimen including mifepristone.
By Holly HonderichAbortion pills are now the most common method of ending a pregnancy in the US, accounting for more than half of all abortions in the country.Much of the fight is focused on mifepristone, one half of the two-pill regimen that makes up the safest and most effective mode of medication abortion.Here is a look at the mifepristone, what it does and where it is used.
The US first approved mifepristone for the medical termination of pregnancy through seven weeks gestation in September 2000. In 2016, its approved use was extended to ten weeks of pregnancy. Increasingly, anti-abortion campaigners have said that abortion medication, which they call "chemical abortion", is risky and ineffective, but their claims of widespread harm are not supported by leading medical organisations, such as the World Health Organisation and the American Medical Association.
