Women who use abortion pills rather than the more common surgical method seem to face no greater risk of tubal pregnancy or miscarriage in later pregnancies, according to a new study.
The abortion pills are called mifepristone, formerly known as RU-486.
The federally funded research — based on nearly 12,000 Danish women — is considered the best study to date of the impact of this newer abortion method on subsequent pregnancies. The majority of abortions are surgical abortions.
