Although induced abortion is often referenced as health care, a critical examination shows that there is little objective evidence that this statement is true.

CLI Director of Data Analytics Dr. James Studnicki and Director of Medical Affairs Dr. Ingrid Skop recently published their paper "Is Induced Abortion Evidence-Based Medical Practice?" in the journal Medical Research Archives.

If mifepristone is unavailable, patients will not suffer, for there are several other effective options available for treating a miscarriage. Fearmongering about an inability to treat miscarriages in the aftermath of Dobbs should be recognized for the ideologically driven, pro-abortion rhetoric that it is.

Opill, the first nonprescription oral contraceptive pill (OCP) to be granted FDA approval, is a synthetic progesterone (norgestrel) 0.075 mg tablet taken daily (with no placebo week). The following are important facts for women and physicians to know as Opill hits the market for the first time in 2024.

Most on the left vehemently oppose any legislative limits on abortion, and some on the right, even if they identify as pro-life, are of the opinion that a federal limit on late abortions would fail to find consensus and so could not be passed.
