Methods of Abortion

MEDICAL ABORTION

Medication abortion also called the abortion pill, can be taken up to 70 days (10 weeks pregnant).¹ The abortion pill is taken in two doses, one typically at a doctor’s office and the other at home. The FDA specifically warns people not to buy the abortion pill, or the generic version on the Internet because it by-passes safeguards.^2,3

SURGICAL ABORTION

There are several types of surgical abortions. Suction aspiration, also called suction curettage, or vacuum aspiration abortion, is performed during the first 6 to 14 weeks gestational stage. Dilation and Evacuation (D&E) is another type of procedure typically done in later weeks. Both types have risks and side-effects and greatly vary depending on your gestation and health.⁴
