How To Use Abortion Pills

Abortion pills are medicines that help stop a pregnancy. Abortion pills are also called “medication abortions.” These medicines are also used in miscarriage care. They cause cramping and bleeding.

Method 1

Mifepristone + Misoprostol

This method is 95% to 98% effective and is very safe. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which makes sure medicines are safe, has approved this method.

Method 2

Misoprostol Only

Another common method is to only use misoprostol. The World Health Organization supports this practice. Both methods work well, are very safe, and are used by many people all around the world.

Miscarriage + Abortion Hotline Review 1

The Miscarriage + Abortion Hotline is much more than a name… I found M+A to be the ones to help me mentally heal from my miscarriage, and empower me to protect my future reproduction from endangerment.

Miscarriage + Abortion Hotline Review 2

The people on the phone were kind, and I was given information for all facets of coping. M+A has people who will love, care, and allow me to share without judgement, condemnation, or ridicule. I feel blessed for the open-minded people working the hotline who have treated me as a human — instead of ignoring me or pushing any "agenda" of belief onto me.
