The Comparative Safety of Legal Induced Abortion and Childbirth in the United States
OBJECTIVE: To assess the safety of abortion compared with childbirth. METHODS: We estimated mortality rates associated with live births and legal induced abortions in the United States in 1998-2005. We used data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Pregnancy Mortality Surveillance System, birth certificates, and Guttmacher Institute surveys. In addition, we searched for population-based data comparing the morbidity of abortion an…
The Choice of Second Trimester Abortion Method
Decades after its introduction, dilatation and evacuation (D&E) is still not universally offered by gynaecologists who provide second trimester abortion. Three lines of evidence point to D&E as the preferred method for most women. First, the uterus has evolved to expel its contents early and late in pregnancy, not in the middle. Hence, induction of labour with medical abortion forces the uterus to perform a task it is not designed to do. Second, …

Antiprogestin Drugs
The antiprogestin drug mifepristone, popularly known as RU 486,\nprovides women with the choice of abortion by nonsurgical means. Nonsurgical\nabortion is coming to be described as medical abortion, in contrast to\nsurgical abortion. For the overwhelming majority of women for whom the drug is\nsuitable and available, the choice it offers is between surgical and\nnon-surgical abortion, and not between having and not having an abortion. The\ndrug i…
Early Abortion with a Single Dose of the Antiprogestin RU-486
RU-486 is a synthetic progesterone antagonist that is abortifacient in early pregnancy. This trial evaluated the effectiveness and safety of a single 600 mg oral dose given to 50 healthy women ≤49 days from their last menstrual period. Efficacy was inversely related to the initial β-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin level; ranging from 100% at 20,000 mlU/ml (p
Unplanned pregnancies in the United States
Unplanned pregnancies constitute an epidemic in the United States. Over 3 million unplanned pregnancies occur, and over 1.5 million induced abortions are performed each year. Women of minority races and those with less than 12 years of education are at high risk of having unwanted children. Fear of complications (not the complications themselves) is the most powerful deterrent to women's use of contraception. Much of this fear is due to bad press…
Deaths from Spontaneous Abortion in the United States
The Risks Associated with Teenage Abortion
the risks of morbidity and mortality affect a teenager's choice between termination of a pregnancy through induced abortion and continuation of the pregnancy. To identify these risks, we analyzed information from two separate sets of data collected by the Centers for Disease Control: that of the Joint Program for the Study of Abortion, a multicenter prospective study of nearly 165,000 legally induced abortions; and that of a national surveillance…
