Abortion and Mail-Order Abortion pills

If you are thinking about abortion, there are certain questions you need answered.

01

Verify Your Pregnancy

First, you need to know if you really are pregnant. As many as 25% or more of pregnancies end in natural miscarriage, and your pregnancy test could still be showing positive. The earliest way to confirm a pregnancy is with a medical grade pregnancy test and ultrasound, which we provide at ABC Pregnancy.

03

Understand the Procedure

Our staff will provide information about medication abortion (RU486 or the abortion pill) and surgical abortion. We will talk with you about your situation.

ABC is a resource center that has a library full of information on abortion, abortion pills, abortion procedures, etc. Our trained staff is here to help educate you and answer questions you have about the abortion process. ABC is not an abortion clinic and does not administer the abortion pill, but we can help you take preliminary steps to ensure your safety if abortion is the choice you are considering. We highly advise you to educate yourself on abortion before making a life altering decision. Our center has great tools to help you make informed decisions that you can feel good about. We know you have questions.

02

Determine How Far Along You Are

If you are pregnant, knowing how far along you are will determine the type and cost of an abortion. An ultrasound provides this information.

Be careful about ordering pills online

If you are feeling desperate, you may resort to making a decision you typically wouldn’t make. Getting pills in the mail may be more convenient, but at what cost? Do you know where the pills came from? Are you working with a trusted doctor that knows your health history and can oversee the process? We care about you and want you to be informed before making a life-threatening decision.

  • The abortion pill, also known as RU-486, chemical abortion, plan C, missed period pills, is a two-step process involving two medications:

    Mifepristone (Mifeprex) – blocks your body’s production of the growth hormone, progesterone, which helps the baby grow.

    Misoprostol (Cytotec) – induces cramping and contractions to expel the baby.

  • With DIY abortion and on-line purchasing of these medications, there is no medical evaluation following the abortion. Therefore, any complications you experience will be directed to your local emergency room. This leaves women who have ordered these pills to wonder if their symptoms are normal, if the abortion was complete, and if anything went wrong. Medical abortion risks include: allergic reaction, infection and sepsis (sometimes without fever), and prolonged heavy bleeding (which may indicate an incomplete abortion). All of these require immediate medical attention.

  • Anyone seeking to purchase abortion pills needs to know that they may be purchasing a potentially substandard and falsified medical product on the black market. There are risks when taking these pills without prescreening, medical supervision, or any follow-up assessment to assure the procedure is complete and to evaluate for complications.

    We encourage you to visit our pregnancy center first to confirm your pregnancy, speak with a counselor and get an ultrasound.
