By restricting access to safe medical abortions, they are basically pushing women into back alley or self-induced abortions, neither of which are safe. Or admitting they are shutting down clinics so someone has to go to another state! Because everyone has the means to take days off work, drive across Texas to NM, stay in a hotel, and pay for the procedure on top of everything.

I applaud this program wholeheartedly. I hope the information spreads so women know they have the option. And I hope that hospitals don't take up testing for these drugs if someone needs to go to the hospital for complications. I'm sure the fundies will get right on laws to make sure this is illegal, because nothing else in the world, such as education and feeding of them already born beautiful babies is as important!
