Common Questions
How do the abortion pills work?
They work in two steps. The first pill stops the pregnancy hormone, and the second set of pills causes your body to expel the pregnancy, similar to a miscarriage.
How effective are the pills?
The abortion pill is very effective. For people who are 8 weeks pregnant or less, it works about 98 out of 100 times. From 8-20 weeks pregnant, it works about 98 out of 100 times.
The abortion pill usually works, but if it doesn't, you can take more medicine or have an in clinic abortion to complete the abortion.

Why should I consider a medical abortion?
This is a very personal decision. Many women find the option of a medical abortion preferable to undergoing a surgical abortion procedure. A medical abortion can be completed earlier in pregnancy, privately and discreetly. You can receive medical abortion treatment as soon as you find out you are pregnant, and up to 10 weeks after the first day of your last period. It has been deemed safe and carries no long-term risks for future pregnancies.
Typical medical abortions have a high rate of success (98%) and are non-invasive. They do not require advance preparation, and do not require you to find someone to transport you home from the clinic. You can choose to be alone or request that a partner, friend, or family member stay with you. Even though the procedure will take place in the privacy of your own home, you are under our care and we are available to you at all times.
