#MedicalAbortion

As debates about reproductive rights continue to escalate worldwide, a new wave of research and policy analysis has spotlighted misoprostol—an abortion pill that has transformed safe abortion access in countries with restrictive laws and limited access to healthcare. Originally introduced as an ulcer medication, misoprostol is now at the heart of struggles for reproductive autonomy across the globe, including in Brazil, the United States, and increasingly, Thailand. The ongoing worldwide conversation about this medication is not just about clinical guidelines, but also about access, stigma, and the right to information—issues profoundly resonant for Thai society.
