A new study shows a possible new abortion drug to replace mifepristone. But will these results increase abortion access—or restrict women's reproductive health options down the line?

The research could further complicate the polarized politics of abortion because the drug in the study is the key ingredient in a pill used for emergency contraception.

Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, a Trump appointee, allowed three states to go forward with a lawsuit that seeks to change how mifepristone is used.

A new study suggests that a pill used for emergency contraception could be repurposed at a higher dose as an abortion drug, providing a possible alternative to mifepristone, one of the two drugs used in the most common type of abortion in the United States.

Abortion pills are a combination of two medications- mifepristone and misoprostol, which are consumed in two separate doses. Now, researchers have discovered an alternative to mifepristone.

The new Trump administration could put a stop to pending litigation on the abortion pill mifepristone and other federal abortion policies through changes at the Department of Health and Human Services, according to a top anti-abortion lawyer involved in several pending cases.

The goal of this study was to determine if ulipristal acetate and misoprostol could provide a safe and effective alternative to current medication abortion regimens, Bousiéguez told MedPage Today. Ulipristal acetate is currently FDA-approved for emergency contraception.

Mifepristone is under attack by abortion opponents, with several states seeking in federal court to restrict its use.
