"Reversal" controversy
Some pro-life groups claim that the abortifacient effect of mifepristone can be reversed by administering progesterone before the patient takes misoprostol. There is no scientifically rigorous evidence that the effects of mifepristone can actually be reversed this way. Even so, several states in USA require providers of non-surgical abortion who use mifepristone to tell patients that reversal is an option. In 2019, researchers at the University of California at Davis initiated a small (forty planned participant subjects) but rigorous, properly-controlled, double-blind academic clinical trial of the so-called reversal regimen using mifepristone followed by progesterone or placebo. The study was halted due to safety concerns after 12 women enrolled and three experienced severe vaginal bleeding. The results raise serious concerns about using mifepristone without follow-up misoprostol.

Paternal rights and abortion
The paternal rights and abortion issue is an extension of both the abortion debate and the fathers' rights movement. “About 98.3% of abortions in the United States are elective, including socio-economic reasons or for birth control. The remaining 1.3% occurs due the following reasons: in cases of rape, 0.3%; in cases of incest, 0.03%; in cases of risk to maternal life, 0.1%; in cases of risk to maternal health, 0.8%; and in cases of fetal health issues, 0.5%” As a result of majority of abortions are planned, abortion is becoming a factor for disagreement and lawsuit between partners.

United States
Late-term abortions usually take place when the mother's health is at serious risk or when fatal abnormalities have been detected.

A study from 2013 found after excluding abortion "on grounds of fetal anomaly or life endangerment", that women seeking late abortions "fit at least one of five profiles: They were raising children alone, were depressed or using illicit substances, were in conflict with a male partner or experiencing domestic violence, had trouble deciding and then had access problems, or were young and nulliparous". They concluded that "bans on abortion after 20 weeks will disproportionately affect young women and women with limited financial resources".
