... People are either Pro-Life or Pro-Choice; either against abortions or for the right to choose whether or not you would like to have an abortion. This paper is not meant to make you choose a side, but to inform you about abortions, in particular the medical way known as “the abortion pill.” Which is safer for a woman, the pill or surgery? ... What are some of advantages and disadvantages to taking the pill? ...
There are two types of abortions, surgical and pharmacological, which is taken in pill form known as RU-486 or mifepristone. Three types of surgical abortion procedures are currently practiced in the United States today. ... Mifepristone, also known as the abortion pill, taken as a pill in two doses, was deemed a safe and effective form of medical abortion. ...
As a revolutionary method of abortion, mifepristone has spent the past fourteen years under the scrutiny of the United States government. ... In using mifepristone in a medical abortion a woman will make three visits to her doctor for treatment. ... The mifepristone alone is about 60 to 80 percent effective in causing an abortion, which is not effective enough to be used as a major dug on the market, so it is followed with a dose of misoprostol, two days later (Planned Parenthood 1). Finally, two weeks later a follow-up visit is made to make sure the pill was effective and everything is right, because if the abortion was not successful, a surgical abortion will have to take place. ... Before it was even approved in the United States, over 600,000 women in Europe had used this abortion method. ... Unfortunately, there has been one case of death due to the use of RU-486 back in 1991 in France. ...
It has been shown that most women would rather have an abortion by using mifepristone rather than having a surgical abortion. An overwhelming majority of women who choose mifepristone for medical abortion are satisfied with the method. ... Additionally, 91 percent of the women reported that they would choose the mifepristone regimen again if they had to have another abortion (Planned Parenthood 1).
