"What is mifepristone?"
"How safe is mife?"
"Is it even effective?"

While we wait the for a Supreme Court decision that could cut patients off from this essential health care, here are some quick facts:

Mifepristone
 

One of two drugs commonly referred to as the "abortion pills." Mifepristone blocks progesterone. Without that hormone, the lining of the uterus breaks down and a pregnancy cannot continue.

91-98% effective in ending an early pregnancy

Has been successfully used by millions of people in 20+ years of FDA approval

In states where abortion is legal, it is available from a doctor, nurse, health clinic, or Planned Parenthood health center

Commonly used for miscarriage management

We've been clear this whole time: Mifepristone is a safe and effective medicine. And keeping mifepristone available is critical to protecting abortion access nationwide.
