Advocates are unsure how a pair of recent federal court rulings over abortion pills mifepristone and misoprostol will play out in central Ohio.
"We know patients are going to go where they're going to get safe, legal abortions," Krishen said Tuesday during a virtual news conference with Ohio news outlets, including The Dispatch and USA TODAY Network Ohio."It hasn't slowed patients down from getting abortions."
While Planned Parenthood is seeking legal guidance about what the pair of rulings mean, it's prepared to switch to using only misoprostol for medication abortions and remains confident there will be enough, Krishen said.The reason anti-abortion advocates aren't targeting misoprostol is because it also can be used for many other medical purposes, including treating stomach ulcers, inducing labor and treating miscarriages, Firsich said.
