At Hand’n Hand Women’s Center, we believe in providing women with accurate information about their options when facing an unplanned pregnancy. Our goal is to empower women with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions while offering support and guidance throughout their pregnancy journey. In this blog post, we will be taking a look at the abortion pill process and some of the misconceptions and misinformation that come along with it.
What is the abortion pill and how does it work?
You may have come across terms like “chemical,” “medical,” or “medication” abortions – these are all names for the abortion pill. It’s important to note that the term “abortion pill” can be misleading as it implies a single-pill solution. In reality, the abortion pill process involves the use of two separate medications: mifepristone (also known as RU-486) and misoprostol. Mifepristone works by blocking progesterone, a hormone needed to maintain the pregnancy, while misoprostol follows up and expels the fetus from the uterus.

If I take the abortion pill, can I change my mind?
It’s important to know that if you have taken the abortion pill but now regret your decision, there may still be time to reverse the effects and potentially save your pregnancy. This process, known as “Abortion Pill Reversal,” offers hope to those seeking a second chance.
Is the reversal process safe?
Absolutely. The abortion pill reversal process is safe when done in a timely manner. However, it’s crucial to act promptly for the best chance of success.
