An unexpected pregnancy may invite questions, especially about your options. You may have heard about abortion and are considering this decision. 

Abortion is the only option that terminates a pregnancy. Understanding the different procedures available to you and what you can expect is essential. We’ll outline the methods below.

All About Medical Abortion

The FDA allows the drugs for a medical abortion during the first 70 days of a woman’s pregnancy only. It uses two drugs, mifepristone, and misoprostol, to end the pregnancy. Mifepristone blocks progesterone, which is a hormone that sustains the pregnancy. Misoprostol causes uterine contractions and expels the pregnancy from the uterus.

Our peer counselors are knowledgeable about all your options for the outcome of your pregnancy, including abortion.

It is also wise to learn about the risks associated with abortion procedures and the recovery process. Speaking with our counselors about abortion will give you the information you need to make a confident choice.
