Talk:Medical abortion

message: I just noticed a good section on ru 486 later in article...this one said it needed doing so i tried, but do we need two sections? Also what is the risk level  of using the drug (i've come across varying numbers...personally i'd use it except you can't get it in Canada if the situation ever arrised but i know protes pages are saying its dangerous
While i was doing research on another aspect of abortions in Canada i came across the statistics for the safety of chemical abortions...i've included them in the page (or stub). Quite safe when compared to childbirth, although complications can occur and it may not be all that comfortable (the article said that many of the effects were similar to a vaccumm abortion with cramps and heavy bleeding etc.--Marcie 17:17, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: Hey all! I am a fourth-year medical student interested in women's health and education. I have chosen to edit this article as part of a course project. 
My work plan:
Lead Section: 
- add citations (ACOG/FDA) where necessary such as sentence on approved drug regimen (mife/miso)
- verify links are active and accurate
Access to medical abortion:
- ensure updated information by verifying citations/include new telehealth options that may be available since last edit
- add section about the role telehealth services played during the COVID-19 pandemic using meta-analyses/systematic reviews
- include link to reproductiverights.org that has an easy to navigate map of the U.S. with descriptions of abortion laws in each state
- verify links are active and accurate
Contraindications/Adverse Effects:
- search for more updated information and replace citations where appropriate
- ensure language is neutral and does not sound like medical advice
Pharmacology/Society and Culture:
- ensure language is as simple as possible/avoid biased language
- beef up pharm section without making it overwhelming to read

message: You did an excellent job updating this article, which sees an extremely high level of daily activity and is clearly important to the general public. I think you have done an excellent job of improving clarity, removing medical jargon, adding citations where needed, and removing incorrect or outdated information. I also really enjoyed the COVID-19 section that you added. I would recommend making the following updates to the article:
* Update the sentence "The new legislation, which will go into effect on July 1, 2023, criminalizes the "prescription, dispensation" to show that this is in the past tense now as well as any updates as to whether this law was contested and went into effect. 
* Include a link to the ibuprofen article in the sentence "Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen reduce pain with medication abortion".
* Consider updating the statistics on the percent of abortions that are medical abortions as the cited statistics are mostly from the late 2000s.

replies: text: Specifically which sentence in the article are you referring to for: "...the cited statistics are mostly from the late 2000s."?  Most of the dates I see are from 2019 onward, in the infobox and the table (Medical abortions as a percentage of all abortions) in the "Prevalence" section. ---Avatar317(talk) 06:07, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
