JEFFERSON CITY — The number of pill abortions in Missouri decreased last year after the state began requiring pelvic exams on patients prior to the procedure, according to statistics from the Department of Health and Senior Services.
Dr. Randall Williams, director of the DHSS and a licensed obstetrician, said at least part of the reduction was due to fewer women choosing to have pill abortions in Missouri after the state began enforcing a pelvic exam requirement early last year.
“Certainly, there’s that factor,” Williams said. “After about March or April … the medication abortions went to Illinois.”
The Post-Dispatch reported in December that women were traveling to Illinois to undergo medication abortions after Missouri began enforcing the pelvic exam rule.
Pelvic exams are conducted on a woman’s internal and external genital area. Patients can find them uncomfortable.
