The article I read discussed misoprostol, a pill used to prevent stomach ulcers, and its potential to be used for abortions. The pill would apparently be a safer, cheaper alternative to any surgical procedure, and because it's highly-available already (since it's used for stomach ulcers). It's not until the end that the author states his opinion that the pill is beneficial. I thought that it was interesting how he didn't really talk about his opinions on abortion, but still explained that the pill was a revolution in this aspect of the medical world.
