Telehealth Abortions as Safe and Effective as In-Person Ones

About 98% of people experienced complete abortions without needing any additional interventions after receiving abortion medication provided via telehealth, according to electronic records from more than 6000 abortions provided in 20 states by 3 virtual clinics. The study, published in Nature Medicine, is among the first to establish the safety and effectiveness of no-test medication abortions —abortions that are monitored remotely and don’t include in-person ultrasonography or blood tests, the researchers noted.
