Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark · An OBGYN On What The Abortion Pill Actually Does To Your Body | Dr. Christina Francis, MD · 20 Feb 2026 podcast

In no way, shape or form had abortion been equivocated with ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage treatment before.

But now that the pro-abortion side was having to defend their position, now they were sort of looping all of those actual women's health care issues into the abortion debate.

And so that has been, I think, a real uphill battle for us since the Dobbs decision is

correcting that medical misinformation and helping people understand that women can still receive the true life-saving health care that they need in states where abortion is now illegal.

Well, you know, it's hard to know exactly what's happening because there's no abortion reporting requirement in the country.

So states can voluntarily report to the CDC.

Guttmacher collects some data from abortion facilities, but it is hard to know exactly what's going on.

But there does appear to be a trend towards more abortions.

since the Dobbs decision.

And that's not because, at least I don't think that's because abortion has been made illegal in some places.

It's because of the rise of the use of abortion pills and the way that they're being dispensed now because of the reckless decisions that the FDA made under the Biden administration to remove the in-person dispensing requirement.

Now these pills are available to order online, sent through the mail.

Even if you're not pregnant, you can get these pills for what they call advanced provision.

If you want them around in case you become pregnant in the future and you might want an abortion, you can get them now.

And so all of this, I think, is contributing to the increasing numbers of reported abortions.

And it's leading to really horrific outcomes for both preborn children and for women as well.

Well, you know, they've been shifting for quite some time, even before the Dobbs decision, away from surgical abortions.

There's a couple of reasons for that.

One, there are requirements for facilities that provide surgical procedures, even though in many states, abortion facilities like Planned Parenthood have skirted those requirements and not held to the same requirements.

health and safety standards as other medical facilities have.
