A study by UC San Francisco’s Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health (ANSIRH) found that medication abortion via telehealth, without the need for an ultrasound, is as safe and effective as in-person care. The research analyzed the experiences of 585 patients across various states, revealing that telehealth patients had outcomes comparable to those receiving traditional in-person care. The study supports the use of telehealth to overcome barriers to abortion access, emphasizing that restrictions on telehealth abortion are not scientifically justified.
