In a growing number of communities, women need to travel considerable distances to obtain clinical assistance with an abortion or miscarriage. Such travel is a particular burden for rural and low-income women. Both early abortion and miscarriage can be managed with a single dose of oral Mifepristone followed by Misoprostol.

Licensed physicians — and, in twenty states, advanced practice clinicians — can provide Mifepristone. Most patients who received abortions from primary care providers are very satisfied with the experience, and most general medicine patients felt their clinic should provide medication abortion.
