Medication abortions are safe, but as threats to reproductive freedom increase, abortion pill access may also become more limited. Last month, Missouri narrowly missed becoming the first state in the country without abortion access, when the state’s sole abortion clinic was nearly shut down by the health department. The clinic, which is operated by Planned Parenthood, remains licensed for now, but the standoff follows a slew of escalating abortion bills across the country, including one in Missouri that outlaws abortions any later than eight weeks into a pregnancy.
