The research analyzed data from insurance claims for government insurers like Medicare and Medicaid between 2017 and 2023. So the data set only captures official complaints where treatment was sought. So if anything, it's an undercount. By the way, medication abortion is a two-pill regimen.

That's right. So Mifepristone was originally approved by the FDA in 2000. For many years, women had to see a doctor in person to obtain the abortion pill. But a few months before Roe versus Wade was overturned in 2022, the FDA scrapped that requirement. So now women can get it through the mail.

Over the seven years this study looked at, the number of chemical abortions jumped dramatically from less than 100,000 to over 150,000 a year.
