Is the Abortion Pill Safe?
The abortion pill – also known as medication abortion – comes with its risks and every woman’s body reacts differently to the drugs. The abortion pill involves taking two different drugs to terminate a pregnancy: Mifepristone and Misoprostol.
The first drug, Mifepristone, blocks the womb from absorbing progesterone and prevents the embryo from implanting or growing in the uterus. Then, Misoprostol is taken to cause the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy. Medication abortion is only for women 10 weeks pregnant or earlier.
