Argentina has become the latest country in Latin America to allow the sale of mifepristone, an abortion drug that is now under threat of being banned in the US. Proponents of the two-pill regimen believe that it could improve the quality of care for women, reduce the likelihood of riskier surgical abortions being required, and minimise side-effects associated with taking the single misoprostol treatment. By end-2023, the Argentine government hopes to provide all medical abortions using the mifepristone-misoprostol combination.
