Mifepristone, also known as RU-486, is a medication used for medical abortion (termination of pregnancy). It is a synthetic steroid that blocks the action of progesterone, a hormone necessary for the maintenance of pregnancy. By blocking progesterone, mifepristone causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy.

The state of Idaho has recently passed a law that restricts access to abortion by limiting travel for the procedure. The law, named the "Idaho Abortion Complications Reporting Act," requires healthcare providers to report any complications related to abortion procedures that occur outside of Idaho to the state's Department of Health and Welfare.
