Women prefer surgical abortion to pill in second trimester

Women prefer surgical abortion to pill in second trimester | Reuters: Women who undergo an abortion during the second trimester may often prefer a surgical procedure to the 'abortion pill.' The study, of 122 women who were randomly assigned to either a surgical or medication-induced abortion during the second trimester, found that all women in the surgery group said they would opt for that form of abortion again, if necessary. In contrast, only 53 percent of women in the medication group said the same.

Editor: Whoa, did you catch that? Abortion pill in the second trimester? Read on: In the U.S., the abortion pill is approved for use within the first nine weeks of pregnancy. In the UK, it is approved for use up through the 24th week; however, most studies comparing the safety and effectiveness of medical and surgical abortions have focused on procedures performed in first trimester."
