Brendan shares his insights on attending the 54th annual National Right To Life Conference in Overland Park, Kansas. Statistics on the use of mifepristone and misoprostol, FDA-regulated medications utilized by health care providers under the Mifepristone REMS program, are explored as women across the nation take measures throughout various states to access health options for terminating pregnancies and encounter complications through the use of these medications. Different laws and the way they carry conflicts across state borders as women try to navigate options for their wellbeing are illustrated in examples of cases where medical care has been inadequate or mishandled and led to scrutiny by the healthcare and judicial system.
