‘Lack of scientific rigour’: Journal retracts studies cited in US medical abortion access case
The publisher said the studies demonstrated 'a lack of scientific rigour' that invalidates the authors’ conclusions.
Two studies that warned of the harms of medical abortion have been retracted by the journal’s publisher over flaws in the data and conflicts of interest among the researchers.
Complicating matters even further, the papers were cited in a Texas court ruling that has challenged nationwide access to medical abortion drugs.
