Guttmacher Institute

For the first time, a majority of women in the U.S. are now choosing medical abortions, using drugs to terminate pregnancy, rather than invasive surgical abortions. Janet Cathey, M.D. an obstetrician/gynecologist provider at Planned Parenthood Great Plains Little Rock explains the benefits as well as risks.

Correction: We report that both Planned Parenthood Great Plains clinics in Arkansas provide medical abortions. Only the Little Rock Clinic dispenses prescription abortion pills. The Rogers clinic does not.
