Selling abortion pills by mail is a “great business model,” according to Dr. Katharine Morrison, medical director of Buffalo Women Services abortion facility in western New York. In an interview<\/a> with New Yorker Magazine journalist Eyal Press, Morrison explained that surgical abortion (also referred to as procedural abortion) is much more expensive and time consuming compared to prescribing the abortion pill regimen because, she claimed, \u201cYou have to have staff, an ultrasound-sonographer, equipment, an R.N.,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

This is why Morrison added that selling abortion pills is \u201ca great business model.”<\/p>\n

Morrison was one of several independent abortion facility workers expressing concerns over Planned Parenthood’s “too cautious and too corporate” positions since Roe’s<\/em> reversal. Morrison, along with Terri Fregoe, owns and operates the Buffalo Women Services facility, according to the clinic’s GoFundMe post.<\/p>\n
