For more than 25 years, mifepristone has been approved for abortion in the U.S. But mifepristone and a similar drug have also been proven to treat conditions like uterine fibroids and endometriosis.
As anti-abortion groups lobby to further restrict these drugs, special correspondent Sarah Varney and producer Rachel Wellford took a look at these treatments for our series, Beyond Abortion.
Four years have passed since the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision opened the door to state abortion bans.
A study from Oregon Health and Science University finds those bans are hurting women who aren't seeking abortions at all. Researchers found delays in miscarriage treatment increase the risk to a woman's health and fertility and prolong the grief of a lost pregnancy.
Those issues weigh heavily on the doctors treating these patients.
Special correspondent Sarah Varney traveled to Kentucky and Texas, two states with near-total abortion bans, to speak with OB-GYNs about how these laws are changing how they practice medicine.

Anti-abortion OB-GYN Dr. Kerri Brackney of Tennessee says anencephaly increases risks for the pregnant person but still argues abortion would be worse: "Sometimes moms find stillbirths to be a gift, where they didn’t have to decide and it happened naturally."
Idaho is one of 11 states with strict abortion bans that do not allow exceptions for fatal fetal anomalies. And it is the only state this election cycle where voters have the chance to undo it. Important piece by Kelcie Moseley-Morris: https://t.co/tZYeJCuMcB
