Abortion

pill The abortion pill is a type of medication used to induce an abortion in women. It works by blocking the hormone progesterone, which is necessary to maintain a pregnancy. By blocking progesterone, the lining of the uterus breaks down and the pregnancy cannot continue. The abortion pill is an effective and safe option for ending a pregnancy within the first 10 weeks of gestation. It can also be used later in pregnancy in certain situations. The abortion pill is recommended for women who wish to have a non-surgical abortion and for those who choose to have a private, more personal abortion experience.
