The rise of telemedicine abortions during the COVID-19 pandemic<\/a> has led to increased health risks for women who take the abortion pill. Though abortion advocates continue to claim that the abortion pill is safe and restrictions on its use are unnecessary, there is mounting evidence that women are suffering from the abortion industry’s desire to expand<\/a> its reach into areas<\/a> where brick-and-mortar facilities are unsustainable.<\/p>\n

According to the website AuntMinnie<\/a>, research published July 27 in the journal Contraception<\/a> claimed that a woman’s safety is not compromised if she does not receive a pre-abortion ultrasound prior to receiving an abortion pill prescription via telemedicine using a “no-test<\/a>” protocol. However, the researchers also stated that women who undergo telemedicine abortions are more likely to require post-abortion care and health interventions \u2014 such as a follow-up surgical abortion.<\/p>\n

“Compared with patients who had preabortion ultrasound, patients who had no-test medication abortion via telemedicine were more likely to have abortions that were not complete with pills alone and unplanned clinical encounters,” wrote the team, led by Holly Anger from pro-abortion Gyniuty Health Projects. “However, both no-test and test-medication abortion patients had similar and very low rates of ongoing pregnancy and hospitalization or blood transfusion.”<\/p>\n
