Integrating abortion into primary care reduces barriers and increases access. Medication abortion (MAB) using mifepristone and misoprostol, or misoprostol alone, is safe and effective. MAB can be initiated with a clinician, in person, or via telehealth, as well as self-managed. Follow-up should be offered but can also be self-directed. Procedural abortion (PAB) should be trauma-informed and include options for pain control. PAB does not require follow-up. Medication and procedural abortion care is part of full-spectrum reproductive health care and within the scope of the primary care clinician.
