Early medical abortion and how its safety compares with in-clinic or surgical procedures is one of the most important and frequently asked questions.
There has been rapid growth in the use and preference for medication abortion over surgical abortion. In the United States, medication abortion accounted for roughly 63% of all abortions in 2023, a steep increase from prior years, and this trend continued into 2024 as access expanded through telemedicine and at-home care models.
Many people and clinicians prefer medical over surgical abortion because it can be offered earlier in pregnancy, provides privacy and the option of remote care (reducing travel, cost, and time burdens), avoids an invasive procedure, and supports patient autonomy in choosing the setting of care.
