My concern - is it actually better to be doing this in private? Emotionally, maybe, but imagine you are a single girl who gets pregnant and decides to abort and you don't want anyone to know. From first glance, this drug might be right up your alley! But when you take into account 2% of patients have an overly heavy (bleeding) reaction to it, that actually required medical attention, this drugs becomes a damn sight uglier in my estimation. The idea of allowing someone to have a DIY abortion at home seems a little crazy to me.
With good (maybe family) support, this problem is minimised *but* there really needs to be checks in place to make sure that the patient is not going home to "abort alone".
