There are many things to consider – be informed!

 

What you need to know



Our trained volunteers are available to discuss with you any questions you may have regarding having an abortion, barriers to continuing a pregnancy, as well as abortion procedures and risks associated with abortion.

There are medications and surgical abortion procedures. The types of abortion that may be available depend on factors such as how far along you are in your pregnancy.

You have time to make an informed choice – your decision has life-long consequences. You should not be rushed into a decision, and you should not be pressured to make a decision because of someone else. It is important for you to determine what is best for you, now and in the future. You have a right to get all the facts. It is your pregnancy, your right to know, and make an informed decision.

The Abortion Pill Process

A chemical abortion consists of two pills: Mifepristone (RU-486 or "Abortion Pill") and Misoprostol (Cytotec). A doctor will prescribe a woman Mifepristone during the first 70 days (10 weeks) of pregnancy. Mifepristone blocks the essential nutrients (progesterone) needed for a growing baby. The second pill, Misoprostol, is taken 24 to 48 hours after Mifepristone. This pill causes cramping and bleeding, which expels the baby. The woman will need to be examined by a doctor two weeks later to confirm the abortion was complete and to check for complications.

Women considering the Abortion Pill should be aware of the potential risks and side effects

:

  • Vaginal bleeding for an average of 9 to 16 days
  • Stomach Cramps and hemorrhage
  • Infection
  • Vaginal inflammation
  • Insomnia
  • Allergic reaction
  • Loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, high blood pressure
  • Death

 

Failure Rate: The failure rate for chemical abortion increases as the pregnancy progresses. According to the FDA's assessment, the failure rate of RU-486 rises to over 7.3% when administered in the 10th week. Other studies have found failure rates for RU-486 to be 5% at seven weeks and under, 8% at at eight weeks, and 10% at nine weeks.


We are committed to providing you with the knowledge and caring support you need to make this decision.
