📣It's here! Just published in Nature Medicine: Among of over 6,000 patients of telehealth abortion was as safe and effective as found in previous studies of in-person medication abortion care. Full paper linked below and a longer tweet thread to follow soon. 👇🏽
In a prospective study across US states where abortion remains legal, telehealth medical abortion, provided primarily without tests, was effective, safe and comparable to previous large US studies investigating in-person medication abortion care.

➡️Abortion bans have not eliminated the need for abortion nor reduced their number. ➡️Instead, they result in increased maternal and infant mortality. Check out my new opinion piece with Theresa Rosinger-Zifko & @arghavan_salles.
