TASZ programme leader Rita Bence said the GYEMSZI had made the results available after a hiatus of two years, and these show that the abortion pill is safe and can be used in line with current abortion regulations and professional medical positions. The office of the state secretary of health earlier told the TASZ that “risks connected with the use of the pill are still a subject of dispute,” so now the TASZ is asking the office in an open letter to reveal what “hidden risks” are suspected.

The GYEMSZI approved the use of the abortion pill back in 2012 but the official documents on their tests have only been made available now, the TASZ said. The GYEMSZI gave its approval for the distribution of the pill for five years.

Bence also cited a 2005 position by the Hungarian College of Gynaecology and Obstetrics stating that the introduction of the abortion pill would not result in an increase in the number of abortions, and its use is less risky than surgical abortions.
