YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Medical abortions, or abortion pills, now account for more than half of abortions in the U.S. Following the Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade – the 1973 court case that established a woman’s the right to choose an abortion – attention has turned to abortion pills.

I explain how misoprostol and mifepristone work together to terminate a pregnancy, as well as the potential side effects of a medical abortion.

I’m Daniela Hernandez, a health and science reporter for WSJ, and on this channel I’ll be covering a variety of subjects from neuroscience to the science of food and public health. If you’re interested in science and health and how cutting edge research impacts our lives, don’t forget to subscribe.
