 Abortion Pill RU486Abortion Clinic : Medical Abortion / RU486 Medical Abortion / RU486 (“abortion pill”) is a safe and effective non-surgical abortion for women up to 10 weeks of pregnancy. How it works Medical Abortion / RU486 abortions are completed through combining two medications, Mifeprex and Misoprostol. The first pill, Mifeprex, is taken in the medical office, and blocks the action of progesterone, a hormone needed to continue the pregnancy. 12-48 hours after taking Mifeprex, a woman will take the second set of tablets, Misoprostol, at home. Misoprostol works to gently soften and open the cervix, so that the discontinued pregnancy can pass through. Effectiveness Medical abortions are 95-98% effective in completely terminating a pregnancy. Rates of effectiveness can depend on the treatment regimen and length of pregnancy. Though most medical abortions are successful, incomplete abortions are safely completed with additional medication or a surgical D&C procedure. Benefits to choosing medical abortion Most women who choose medical over surgical abortions do so to avoid having surgery. These women often express that a medical abortion seems less invasive, that they feel more in control, and that they prefer to have their abortion experience at home. Many women also state that the medical abortion process seems to be more “natural” because it produces a miscarriage-like experience. What to expect during a medical abortion Every woman who opts for a medical abortion will participate in a detailed counseling session before going home so that she is clear about instructions and what to expect during her abortion. Though not every medical abortion experience is the same, most women report that bleeding and cramping begin within 2-7 hours of taking Misoprostol (the 2nd set of medication), and that the heaviest bleeding/cramping decreases within 24 hours. All women are counseled on how to manage bleeding, and receive pain medication to help with cramping/discomfort. 10-15% of women may experience other side effects, such as nausea, fever, diarrhea, vomiting, or chills. It is highly recommended that women choosing medical abortion have at least 1-2 days off (beginning with the Misoprostol/home portion of the abortion procedure). We also recommend having a partner, family member or friend with you during this process. Detroit Patients: Medical abortions are done on Tuesdays by appointment. The wait time is very minimal (usually 1 1/2 to 2 hours). Cost for medical abortions The cost of a medical abortion will differ by medical facility and state. Contact your local office for more information on cost. For those with state insurance or medical insurance, if surgical abortions are covered, medical abortions are also likely covered. |

Consideration before ending your pregnacy October 31 , 2019 You feel like you’re in an impossible situation, and it’s really hard to decide what to do. When you’re unexpectedly pregnant, fears rise up, and that’s normal. You have many questions that need answers, and you aren’t exactly sure where to turn for help. Maybe abortion seems like your only option, but perhaps there’s a part of you that isn’t sure. The thing is, you can’t end your pregnancy and then reverse it if you decide you rushed into your decision too quickly. Here are 7 tips to consider before ending your pregnancy. 1. Know you aren’t alone. Nearly half of all pregnancies are unintended according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). That’s three million other women each year trying to make the same decision you’re facing today. Women of every age and background can relate to what you’re going through. So if there is any part of you feeling ashamed for being unexpectedly pregnant, try to show yourself the same compassion you would show your best friend if she was in your shoes, and then focus on one step at a time. 2. Consider all your options. You have three options: abortion, adoption, and parenting. There is no “easy way out.” Each option has short-term and long-term effects on your life. However, you deserve the opportunity to gather the facts you need about each option to make an informed and confident decision. It’s important to not move forward with a decision if you’re feeling unsettled about it in your gut. Parenting: Many pregnancy centers offer information about parenting classes and encouragement to help you navigate the practical aspects of parenting each step of the way. Adoption: There are three types of adoption:closed, semi-open, and open. Birth mothers are the ones who make the decision about what type of adoption they prefer. Most adoptions now are open adoptions. That means the birthmother chooses the adoptive parents and works with those who are open the level of contact she wants to have with her child after the adoption is finalized. The level of contact varies from exchanging photos and letters to the birthmom playing an active role in her child’s life. Abortion: There are several types of abortion to consider depending on how far along you are in your pregnancy. Here are helpful answers to common questions to also consider before an abortion. Research the emotional impact, physical risks and side effects of abortion until you feel adequately informed. The first step before considering abortion is to be sure your pregnancy is viable. 3. Confirm your pregnancy is viable. A viable pregnancy is one that is in the uterus and is showing signs of progressing normally. A positive pregnancy test means that a pregnancy hormone, hCG was detected in your urine. However, March of Dimes reports that nearly 50% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. 80% of those miscarriages happen within the first three months of pregnancy. Before you take the chance of having an unnecessary abortion, it’s crucial to confirm your pregnancy is viable. That is a no-cost service at pregnancy resource centers (PRCs) across the country. Here is another scenario to consider: If your pregnancy is not in your uterus (ectopic pregnancy) and you take an abortion pill without that information, it can be very dangerous to your health. This is another reason to confirm that your pregnancy is viable before proceeding with an abortion. 4. Seek out local resources. You might not know there are resources, grants, and services available to you from people who care deeply about women who are unexpectedly pregnant. There are approximately 3000-3500 PRCs throughout the U.S., and they are funded by private donations. PRCs are not places where you will be judged. To the contrary, they exist to empower you with compassion. You can Google “where is the nearest pregnancy resource center to (your city)” to receive low to no-cost, confidential services. PRCs don’t financially benefit from your decision. They provide resources that are available in your community in addition to no-cost or very low-cost pregnancy testing and ultrasounds to women just like you who need help figuring out what to do when they are unexpectedly pregnant. Most of PRC’s also provide sexually transmitted infection testing (STI). 5. Are you making a decision based on fear? It’s normal to experience fear when you discover you are unexpectedly pregnant. But be careful not to make a decision about your pregnancy from that fear. Fear is temporary, and if you make a permanent decision based on temporary fears, you can unwittingly set yourself up for more pain down the road. Know that it’s against the law for anyone to coerce you or force you to have an abortion. 6. What is your ”gut” telling you? Everyone has that quiet voice or feeling inside themselves. We call that sense your gut feeling. After you gather information, listen to your gut feeling. What is it saying? Write it down. Consider it carefully. It just may save you from having regrets down the road. 7. Seek out advice from someone who is neutral. You have a tough decision to make, and it’s always nice to have another person to talk to. Sometimes they have a perspective you haven’t considered. But in reality, your partner, parents, and friends can’t be neutral when they are giving you advice about you’re pregnancy.When you seek advice, ask yourself if that person has anything to gain or lose from your decision? If so, weigh the advice very carefully. We Are Here to Help Make a confidential appointment at XXXXXXXXX Women’s Center today for a pregnancy screening appointment.

In A Court Of Law . . . "Double Homicide Vs. Abortion And why there is a legal and illegal way to kill an unborn baby." Why is abortion not considered murder when killing a pregnant woman is considered a double homicide. Now, a double homicide is when two people are killed by a different person or group. Therefore, murdering a pregnant woman can be classified as a double homicide because someone else is ending the life of a mother and a child. www.theodysseyonline.com "Is killing a pregnant woman a case of double homicide?" As Migori Governor Okoth Obado and his alleged accomplices face charges in relation to the killing of Rongo University student Sharon Otieno, the fact that she was pregnant adds a layer of legal intrigue. Can a murder suspect be charged with killing an unborn baby if he is accused of murdering an expectant woman? The seven-month pregnant Sharon was raped and stabbed eight times and her unborn baby killed on September 3. Obado was charged on Monday with aiding and abetting her murder. www.the-star.co.ke The RU pill is murder in my book. But since the name of the game is keeping sex fun and free of responsibility, the court of popular opinion will say that its not. |

Morale principles... ... in theory : no sex, no unwanted pregnancy, no need to abort. practically, we know what happens : it leads to clandestine abortions which not only kill the fetus but the mother as well, abandoned children... (I do not even mention the case of unwanted sex) The pope forbid condoms, we see the result : AIDS spreading... When a fine moral principle doesn't work practically, it's just hypocrisy and nonsense to stick to it. |

Ihs It’s spot on! “But research from around the globe is sobering: Restrictive laws don’t actually seem to reduce abortion rates. Instead, they are linked to unsafe abortions, which put women at risk of serious health problems and even death. It doesn’t have to be like this. There are known, evidence-based ways to reduce abortions that actually increase a woman’s autonomy over her body, health and well-being — rather than take away her rights and put her in danger. When states invest in comprehensive sex education, teen pregnancy rates go down. When teens have access to the free birth control of their choice, abortion rates plummet. Outlawing abortion endangers women and doesn’t seem to work. Long-acting, reversible contraception is the most effective way to prevent teen pregnancy ― but it needs to be affordable. |

@ptitroque Morality can't be legislated, absolutely! The only problem with your post is equating the Pope's (the Vatican's) prohibitions with morality. The Vatican is perhaps the worst example of "morality" which any person could hope to emulate. |

@ Inhis My point was not that the Vatican is morale or not, my point is that they give an advice exclusively based on a moral point of view and impracticable, so that the consequences are disastrous. By the way, the sexual immorality of the Vatican is based on the same reason : requiring chastity for priests is morally understandable but practically not possible. |

stalhandske 19-Jan-20, 21:43 |
@ptitroque I don't think it is even morally understandable. Do you really think the "choirboy scandals" of the Catholic Church has to do with the required chastity of their priests? |
||||||||||

Stal Yes, the Catholics have a problem with sexuality. It concerns the priests but not only. All the dogma is based on this (Mary has to be a virgin, although the gospels explicitly mention Jesus brothers). Sex is dirty (including masturbation). Children are innocent, not really conscious, their sexuality is absolutely denied, the sin is therefore not that serious ! I also believe (without proves, I must admit), that some people with "deviant" sexuality, have chosen to be priests because they believed that it would help them to fight their instincts. Obviously, it doesn't work very well... |

@ Inhis I'm aware of the recent enquiry by a journalist (himself gay) in the Vatican. Personaly, I think that people can have the sexuality they want, as long as it's between 2 (or more!) consentant adults. |

ptitroque I wonder if this has been investigated. I would rather think myself that it may be the other way around. Persons with pedophile tendencies might tend to become priests? |

Back on topic I Used to Think Abortion Was Murder. Now I Work at an Abortion Clinic. Rachel Kramer Bussel May 16, 2019, 9:44am How I stopped passing judgment on abortion care patients and started listening. I work for an abortion care provider. I am routinely in the operating room with patients, holding their hands and providing them emotional support before, during, and after their abortions. I have seen hundreds of procedures and helped thousands of people access abortion services. I have supported loved ones through the process, and I have helped people seeking to carry their pregnancies to term plan for the future. I work with pregnant people to help them fully understand all of their options and make the choice that is right for them. Facebook has a way of reminding you of how much you’ve changed. I graduated from high school in 2012. I was passionately opposed to abortion throughout my teenage years, having attended Catholic school for my entire academic life. I was raised on anti-abortion talking points from the Catholic Church, the Catholic school system, and conservative parents. “Abortion is murder,” I thought. “Abortion is the murder of unborn babies.” I believed in the anti-choice myths about “late-term abortion” and “partial-birth abortion.” The other day I saw a Facebook post from seven years ago—something I wrote as an 18-year-old high school senior about to go off to college. The post reflected my thoughts at the time: that abortion was the “easy solution,” that people needed to “take responsibility for their actions,” and that people who are having sex should be prepared to have a child. Reading this was unsettling. I know this is the person I used to be and how I used to view the world, but seeing a reminder of this mindset caught me off guard. Seven years after writing that post, I work for an abortion care provider. I am routinely in the operating room with patients, holding their hands and providing them emotional support before, during, and after their abortions. I have seen hundreds of procedures and helped thousands of people access abortion services. I have supported loved ones through the process, and I have helped people seeking to carry their pregnancies to term plan for the future. I work with pregnant people to help them fully understand all of their options and make the choice that is right for them. Abortion care is just one option, but it is an important option. It’s a health-care option I see pregnant people struggle to obtain, an option people toil and shed tears over. And most people have limited support in making this decision. When I was a teenager, I had a negative relationship with sex. I was sexually assaulted before I had the chance to become sexually active. I was thrown into a situation I was not able to handle. I felt alone throughout my high school years, and developed internalized shame surrounding my sexuality. I seemed to grasp onto other people’s supposed sexual immorality as a way to make myself feel better. I felt alone and completely empty. I thought of sex as a horribly negative part of life. How did I go from anti-choice to pro-choice? The shift was gradual. I moved out of my family home, I went to college, and I got involved with intimate partner violence and sexual violence prevention services. Through working with other survivors and dealing with my own challenges, I came to want to see sex as something positive. I wanted to see what healthy sexuality looked like. I started learning more about sexual health, getting involved in sex education for others, and embracing the idea that people have a right to know how their bodies work. Through my work with survivors, I believed in rape/incest/abuse exceptions for abortion. I thought if a person had been assaulted, they should be able to choose whether to continue their pregnancy. I still thought abortion was wrong or sinful, but I genuinely believed the “sin” of the abortion would be the rapist’s to answer for. Early in my college career, I felt as though I was having an identity crisis. I was working to educate others about relationship and sexual violence, and I was surrounded by feminist campus leaders and pro-choice organizers. I loved my feminist community, but I still felt attached to my views on abortion. My opposition to abortion had felt like a core component of my identity before these new experiences, and that core component was being challenged. I slowly worked through my identity crisis while feeling alone in my social circles, and then one day I had a realization. I believed in women’s rights, and I realized that I viewed abortion as acceptable in cases of violence. I took the time to think about why I believed in exceptions for pregnancies that were the result of rape, incest, or abuse. I had been learning about best practices for working with survivors of violence, and knew how important it was for the survivor to feel in control of their life and their decisions. I asked myself: Why does someone have to be assaulted—to have their autonomy disrespected and to suffer abuse—in order to be justified in making their own decisions? That question fundamentally changed me. I was still uncomfortable with abortion, but I had a different perspective that inspired me to step outside my comfort zone and participate more fully in difficult dialogues. In a sexual health class one day, abortion was the topic of discussion. I almost skipped class that day, but I am glad I didn’t. I wanted to learn more about abortion, so I sought out more information. I began to differentiate between myth and fact and to undo a lot of the anti-abortion programming I’d been raised with. I continued to challenge myself and learn from others. I learned that the vast majority of abortions take place at or before 12 weeks’ gestation. I learned that third-trimester abortions are exceptionally rare. I learned about fetal development. I learned about why people choose abortion. I stopped passing judgment and started listening. I continued to grow intellectually and emotionally. I taught classes where abortion would come up, and I was able to lead group discussions on the topic. In undergrad, I organized two counterprotests of anti-choice groups on campus for passing out inaccurate information. I wanted to combat the lies with medically accurate information. That is still my goal. Based on my experiences and my moral principles, I place high value on autonomy and self-determination. I decided I wanted to continue my career in sexual and reproductive health, as I have a knack for discussing stigmatized topics. In college, I wanted to see what abortion care looked like firsthand. After graduating, I started doing patient support as a volunteer and branched into patient education, crisis intervention, and community education. I see how stigma directly affects vulnerable people trying to decide whether abortion is the right choice for them. I now believe abortion stigma needs to rapidly vanish, and we need to have open conversations about reproductive health, especially abortion. Abortion care is compassionate, life-affirming care. I’m so glad to have made it out of my anti-choice echo chamber. |
