Frequently Asked Questions
What is the abortion pill? How does it work?
The abortion pill, or chemical abortion, uses two medications – mifepristone and misoprostol – to end a pregnancy. The medications are sometimes called “Plan C” or “RU-486.”
The first medication – mifepristone – blocks a natural hormone called progesterone, which is needed for pregnancy. This terminates (ends) the pregnancy. The second medication – misoprostol – causes cramping and bleeding to remove the pregnancy from a woman’s body.
What is a surgical abortion?
If you are not a candidate for a medical abortion or if the medical abortion fails, a surgical abortion may be necessary. The most common surgical abortion methods include: dilation and curettage, manual vacuum aspiration, and dilation and evacuation. Be aware of all side effects and risks associated with each method.

Why is it important to have an ultrasound before an abortion?
A high-quality Ultrasound performed by one of our skilled, friendly, and knowledgeable medical professionals will provide you with the following benefits:
- Confirmation of a viable pregnancy
- Prevent you from needing an abortion if you are already miscarrying but don’t realize it (25% of pregnancies naturally end in miscarriage)
- Show how far along you are which determines the types of abortion procedures available to you
- Tell you if the pregnancy is in utero (in the uterus) or ectopic (outside the womb), which can be life-threatening
