Abortion: Drugs
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will commission an inquiry into the safety of taking (a) mifepristone and (b) misoprostol at home to terminate a pregnancy.
- Answer
-
The Government has no plans to commission an inquiry into the safety of taking mifepristone and misoprostol at home to terminate a pregnancy. Abortion is a safe procedure for which major complications are rare, at all pregnancy gestations. Data does not show an increase in abortion complications following the introduction of home use of mifepristone and misoprostol for early medical abortion.
