Abortion Alternative

NPR's Margot Adler reports that the Planned Parenthood Federation of America today announced plans to begin offering a non-surgical alternative for abortions. The alternative involves using a combination of drugs that have already been approved for other purposes. A few doctors are already using the approach. But the move by Planned Parenthood would make the method much more widely available.
