Abortion Pill Checklist

Abortion Pill Checklist

If you're pregnant and thinking about the abortion pill, you may have heard about it as an option. However, before going for a medical abortion, there are some things you should be certain of before taking the medication.

 

Medical Abortion Checklist

 
1. BE SURE YOU ARE ACTUALLY PREGNANT

Before considering the abortion pill, confirm your pregnancy with a lab-quality test and ultrasound. Never take the abortion pill unless you are pregnant, and always do so under the supervision of a medical professional.



2. UNDERSTAND THE STATUS AND STAGE OF FETAL DEVELOPMENT

Confirming a positive pregnancy test is not enough; an ultrasound is crucial to determine if the fetus is viable. The ultrasound also provides information about the age and development of the fetus, as abortion pills are safe only within 70 days of conception.



3. ENSURE THIS IS YOUR DECISION

Carrying a baby affects everyone close to you, and you may hear conflicting opinions about whether to carry or abort. Ultimately, the decision is yours to make. No one, including your partner, friends, or family, can force you into an abortion. Legal protections are in place to prevent coercion.

If you feel pressured, advocates at Alpha Pregnancy Support offer professional, safe, and confidential support, answering your questions with complete anonymity. We can provide accurate information about the abortion pill and your options.



4. UNDERSTAND THE RISKS

Abortion is a multifaceted experience with inherent risks, both physical and emotional. Undertaking the procedure with an untreated sexually transmitted infection (STI) can complicate matters and increase the risk of infection and complications.

An abortion is irreversible, so it's crucial to be firm and confident in your decision. Without conviction, you may experience emotional or spiritual pain and regret.
