Explanation:

Taking pills to end a pregnancy accounts for a growing share of abortions in the United States, both legal and not.

• Medication abortion is a regimen of pills women can take at home, a method increasingly used around the world.

The protocol approved for use in the United States includes two medications.

• The first one, mifepristone, blocks a hormone called progesterone that is necessary for a pregnancy to continue. The second, misoprostol, brings on uterine contractions.
• The Food and Drug Administration has approved medication abortion for up to 10 weeks of pregnancy. World Health Organization guidelines say it can be used up to 12 weeks at home and after 12 weeks in a medical office.

Is it effective, and is it safe? Yes on both counts. In US studies, the combination of these pills causes a complete abortion in more than 99% of patients and is as safe as the traditional abortion procedure administered by a doctor in a clinic.

• During the pandemic, medication abortion became more common because patients wanted to avoid going to clinics in person, and a change in federal law made it easier for them to get prescriptions via telemedicine.

Hence both statements are correct.
