Dr Grimes explained that abortion is a common experience for women throughout
the world. He discussed barriers associated with abortions, such as cost,
gestational age limits, access to abortion providers, legislative issues,
and harassment. Dr Grimes described the demographics of unintended pregnancies
in the United States and characteristics of patients choosing to have abortions.
He presented evidence that psychological sequelae following abortion tend
to be minor and that most women feel relieved, as Ms B did. Dr Grimes also
detailed methods of medical abortion and innovations in this field. He recommended
that Ms B follow up with her physician to ensure that her pregnancy had ended
and also mentioned that Ms B could have opted for medical abortion. Dr Grimes
reported that abortion in the United States is safe and emphasized data that
patients are highly satisfied with the quality of care they receive.2
