The \u201cClinical Recommendation\u201d claimed to review \u201crelevant literature\u201d which they said provided \u201cevidence-based recommendations for medication abortion between 14 0\/7 and 27 6\/7 weeks of gestation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cThis document uses the term medication abortion to refer to any abortion with medications (including mifepristone and misoprostol, misoprostol only, or other abortifacient or medication) used with the intention of ending and expelling a pregnancy regardless of the setting, context, or pregnancy duration,\u201d the report \u2014&nbsp;jointly developed with the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine \u2014 stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cMedication abortion affects expulsion of the fetus and placenta from the uterus without instrumentation. In settings without experienced dilation and evacuation clinicians, medication abortion is the primary method of later abortion care,\u201d the authors wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">They suggested using \u201cmifepristone 200 mg (where available) plus misoprostol 200 mcg vaginally or buccally every 3 hours for medication abortion between 24 0\/7 and 27 6\/7 weeks of gestation (GRADE 2C),\u201d the authors wrote. \u201cIf mifepristone is unavailable, we suggest misoprostol 200 mcg vaginally or buccally every 3 hours for medication abortion between 24 0\/7 and 27 6\/7 weeks of gestation (GRADE 2C).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Oddly, they also claimed that \u201cno universally accepted definition of successful abortion exists,\u201d adding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>Some studies define success as complete abortion without the need for procedural intervention.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>Other studies define success as fetal and placental expulsion within a prespecified time frame, usually 24 or 48 hours.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>For the purpose of this guideline, a successful abortion is defined as expulsion of the entire pregnancy by the medical method intended without additional intervention.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">But the authors also wrote that \u201cno accepted definition of failure exists,\u201d claiming:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>Many studies arbitrarily set a specific time frame, usually 24 or 48 hours or if a procedural intervention is necessary to remove the fetus, placenta, or both.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>Time frames do not correspond to increased risk of complications, nor do they indicate that success will not eventually occur.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>For the purpose of this guideline, a failed abortion is the counterpart to our defined successful abortion.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Potential Dangers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The abortion pill was&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/news\/abortion-pill-dangerous-safety-requirement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">approved<\/a>&nbsp;by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2000. In 2016, the FDA extended use of the approved drug regimen of mifepristone (mifeprex) and misoprostol through 10 weeks\/70 days gestation. Despite the fact that the FDA is monitoring this drug under their REMS safety system, prescribers are&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/news\/bad-actors-industry-abortion-pill-fda-limits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">openly selling<\/a>&nbsp;the drugs to women well past these gestational limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Recommendations implied abortion pill use in the third trimester should be committed in a hospital or facility:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>Medication abortion between 14 0\/7 and 27 6\/7 weeks of gestation continues to primarily be a facility-based process (ambulatory and hospital based). This standard is based on current practice patterns and not evidence. A facility-based process enables access to a wide range of pain control options and expedient management of common problems associated with medication abortion at 14 0\/7 to 27 6\/7 weeks of gestation, such as retained placenta.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>Facility-based care may also provide access to related resources, such as spiritual care, bereavement services, and fetal remains disposition. However, facility-based care is costly, is less private, and may not be necessary for all patients. Patients do not need to be directly observed for the entire process.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>Mifepristone can be ingested prior to facility presentation. Initial doses of misoprostol can also be started for patients at low risk for extramural delivery. Since abortion in some instances can occur within a few hours of first misoprostol dose, and cramping and bleeding may also occur shortly after misoprostol dosing, the decision to do this should be taken carefully.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>Appropriately trained and credentialed clinicians can provide medication abortion after 13 6\/7 weeks of gestation with appropriate backup, especially as the care is similar to obstetric delivery care that is routinely provided by advanced practice clinicians.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cExisting studies demonstrate a 2% to 20% hemorrhage incidence related to medication abortion, but blood transfusion is rare,\u201d the authors claimed, adding that \u201cRetained placenta is the most common complication that can occur with medication abortion between 14 0\/7 and 27 6\/7 weeks of gestation (12%\u201333%) and can be treated safely with aspiration without subsequent hemorrhage or need for transfusion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">But medical malpractice attorney Michael Seibel told Live Action News, \u201cIt is well established that each week after 18 weeks carries a risk of death which is greater than delivery of the baby.\u201d He added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>Leaving a patient to self monitor symptoms and potential health risks at this stage it is foreseeable that the patient could suffer serious injury or death. In fact&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/news\/amber-thurman-pro-abortion-state-keisha-atkins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Keisha Atkins<\/a>&nbsp;was only 24 weeks pregnant and doctors could not adequately monitor her health at an outpatient clinic which ultimately lead to her death<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Seibel pointed out that these are essentially third trimester inductions using abortion drugs.
