A medical abortion can be safely done in the late first trimester, according to a study of 483 women whose pregnancy was between 64 and 91 days.

A randomized controlled comparison of sublingual and vaginal administration of misoprostol for cervical priming before first-trimester surgical abortion
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of the sublingual and vaginal administration of misoprostol for cervical priming before surgical termination of pregnancy. In a randomized controlled trial, 74 primigravid women who were undergoing surgical abortion were assigned randomly to receive misoprostol sublingually or vaginally and it was found that despite higher incidence of side-effects, the sublingual administration proved more effective and acceptable.
