Quebec no longer requires ultrasound to access abortion pill: physicians’ order
“ has been under study at the College since last January in order to update the directives and to promote access to this medication, in light of the evidence collected and analyzed on the use of the abortion pill,” the statement reads.Additionally, Quebec doctors will no longer need to undergo specific training on the medication if they are not familiar with abortion practice. The order says physicians will now be instructed to use the recommended guidelines and their clinical judgement.
“The role of the College is to ensure the protection of the public, but it also has a duty to ensure that its rules reflect advances in science, evidence, and the evolution of society. That’s what we’re doing,” wrote Doctor Mauril Gaudreault, president of the order.
The procedure, however, is not always easily accessible for those who cannot make arrangements to visit a clinic. that barriers to accessing abortion pills need to be addressed immediately as the procedure’s future in the United States comes under threat.
