This book examines early medical abortion provided by telemedicine, alongside the access barriers created by laws in the US and UK. It critically appraises a series of developments in this rapidly evolving subject providing an up to date and well-informed analysis.

– Provides a comprehensive review of the evidence demonstrating that telemedical early medical abortion up to 10 weeks’ gestation is safe, effective, and acceptable to patients
– Thoroughly examines safety-based arguments against telemedical early medical abortion and shows that they are empirically unfounded
– Offers a comprehensive examination of the legal and regulatory landscape of abortion care in the United Kingdom and United States to demonstrate how legal and non-legal barriers intersect to make access to abortion difficult for many
