Interest in self-management approaches to abortion with pills in the United States preceded the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and has accelerated during this global health crisis. Coupled with the unclear future of legal abortion in the United States, clinical care providers need to be aware of the range of self-managed abortion approaches and of the varying levels of engagement with the formal health care system they entail. This article is intended to serve as a resource to inform providers of the current landscape of abortion with pills in the United States, while also describing possible shifts in the future that may result due to the ongoing pandemic and the continuing erosion of access to abortion care and services.
