RU-486 debated as Kansas clinics weigh access and impact
Kansas officials discuss RU-486 legality and access amid controversy. Spokespersons at Lawrence OB-GYN Specialists emphasize no comment while clinics note RU-486 as a newer form of chemical abortion. Doctors describe a three visit regimen with misoprostol and ultrasound to ensure intrauterine pregnancy. Pro choice and anti abortion groups debate potential increase in abortions and access. A look at state data shows 12,421 total abortions last year with Douglas County noting 390, while black market concerns surface alongside safety discussions.
