Since Friday, more than 100 clinicians have come forward to seek help in offering medication abortion to patients, according to the abortion-rights advocacy group Plan C.
, which has triggered abortion bans in more than 13 states, the abortion-rights advocacy group Plan C says it has seen a surge in the number of primary-care providers asking how they can begin offering medication abortion to patients in their respective states. Some may choose to do so over state lines.
“There’s been an overwhelming amount of interest,” said Christie Pitney, a certified nurse midwife who coordinates Plan C’s efforts to increase the number of clinicians offering telehealth abortions by guiding them through the various steps required to do so.
A medication abortion is performed using a two-drug regimen consisting of mifepristone and misoprostol, access to which is tightly restricted by the Food and Drug Administration. When it was approved in 2000, mifepristone was regulated under what’s called a “risk evaluation and mitigation strategy,” or R.E.M.S., which is typically reserved for drugs associated with a serious risk of adverse events.
