3. Many people prefer to skip the test
A 2020 study by @gynuity.bsky.social found nearly half of the 678 participants would choose same-day pills without a pregnancy test—and 70% of those who didn’t want to be pregnant said the same. Many said that skipping the test would reduce stress and stigma.🧵
Happy #PublicationDay, @rebeccakelliher.bsky.social! 🎆
JUST PILLS, the radical history of the abortion pills from invention to distribution to today, “is essential reading for anyone who cares about the attacks on our bodies and freedoms.” — @jessicavalenti.bsky.social
A flat lay photo shows a Mifeprex (mifepristone) box with a single round white pill and a green pill bottle with several white hexagonal tablets spilled out on a light circular background. Text above reads “Missed period pills,” and text below says, “A safe and evidence-backed way to bring back your period.” The design uses bold white and pink text on a dark green background.
If your period is late & you don’t want to be pregnant, do you really have to wait for a positive pregnancy test before you can act? With missed period pills from carafem, you can take action to bring back your period & peace of mind by safely ending a potential early pregnancy.
Congratulations to everyone involved in this comprehensive analysis addressing important questions on excessive bleeding after childbirth >>>

The updated WHO List of Essential Medicines is available. For the first time, abortion medicines are presented in a new section &, in a positive move, the list no longer carries the caveat that singled out mifepristone & misoprostol as only to be used where legally permitted or culturally acceptable
This evaluation builds upon a study by @gynuity.bsky.social with @ppnorthcentral.bsky.social @pprockymountains.bsky.social, which suggests that providing medication abortion based only on a self-administered, programmed questionnaire is likely to be effective and safe gynuity.org/resources/ev...
A qualitative study examining patient experiences with asynchronous medication abortion care in the US found that care without real-time interaction with a physician is highly acceptable to patients, enabling them to avoid unnecessary care with providers www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Through this letter organized by CRHLP and ANSIRH, hundreds of researchers remind the FDA that it’s actions must be based on the sound, rigorous, and transparent science that conclusively proves the safety and effectiveness of mifepristone generally and via telehealth.
Today we and our colleagues at @ansirh.bsky.social submitted a letter to the FDA for over 260 researchers affirming the 25-year safety record of mifepristone and urging the FDA not to restrict abortion pill access based on junk science. Read the letter here: law.ucla.edu/sites/defaul...
