God, I hate Republicans.

If you are at all able to, please stock up and take any & all necessary precautions to protect your own bodily autonomy or that of loved ones, before the John Roberts Court rubber stamps another Christofascist anti-abortion law into effect.

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine — a case that will decide national access to Mifepristone, a medication abortion pill used in over 60 percent of abortion procedures nationwide. In light of this case, we’re here to share an important reminder: Reproductive Care is Healthcare, and it’s on the ballot this year.

Across the country, elected officials are failing to protect Americans’ right to make decisions about their bodies, families, and lives. Attacks on reproductive rights restrict Americans’ access to standard pregnancy care and worsen maternal health overall.

In 2024, reproductive healthcare is on the ballot in as many as 15 states. Your vote is your voice. Make sure you’re registered NOW at weall.vote/register — then remind three friends to check their registration too.

Three Myths About Medication Abortion

Abortion is always considered a dangerous thing, and that is also the reason that people are spreading more rumors about it day by day. 

Today we will talk about medicinal abortion, which means to do an abortion with the help of medicines or without scissors. 

We may also have heard much gossip about this abortion. Therefore, here we will bust three prevalent myths about Therapeutic Abortion. 

Read till the end to know the actual consequences of abortion with medicines and how to prevent risks. Moreover, I will discuss some well-known abortion medicines and doctors' advice below. 

Three Myths About Medication Abortion 

So below are those widespread rumors that have scared many ladies, but we will reveal all the truth about this gossip. 

Cannot Get Pregnant Again? 

Medication abortion is also one of the safe abortion procedures that you can do at home. However, people have many assumptions that it may not be professional or dangerous if a doctor does not do it. 

However, it is a myth that if you abort with pills, you cannot have a child again.  So don't worry about this because you can always have a child in the future even when you do Medicinal Abortion. 

Except for the complicated cases, this abortion is not life-threatening. Moreover, it is considered adequate by doctors in the early stages of pregnancy. 

It Is Not Completely Effective 

After collecting a lot of data, we can conclude that abortion by medicines is 98% effective, and the 2% cases are rare and have some other complications because the treatment cannot show its effect. 

Furthermore, it is working also depends on how long you are pregnant. Similarly, it will be harder to abort if you are pregnant for a long time. 

Similarly, it is 100% effective for 8+ weeks pregnant women. However, the chances of abortion become 98% for 10-11 week Pregnant Women. Hence, this is also a myth and taking pills for abortion is effective. 

Cannot Be Done Without a Doctor 

Therapeutic abortion is specially made so anyone can do it at home. Similarly, it does not need a doctor or nurse to do it. Furthermore, for the right medicines and to avoid risk, you can consult a doctor, but you don't have to visit the hospital when taking medication. 

Similarly, it is allowed in many countries, and its true privilege is that any woman can do it at home. Moreover, it is legally permitted in many countries, and doctors also prescribe medicinal abortion for women's comfort. 

The Actual Risks of Medication Abortion 

It can be mentally depressing for women to abort; that's why any abortion can lead to mental health problems. 

It is done at home, so it can increase the chances of getting a pelvic inflammatory disease. 

Due to some complications, you can have excessive bleeding, which is dangerous, and you should call the doctor immediately. 

Would also feel pain and cramps. 

Its effectivity decreases if the pregnancy is already ten weeks long. 

How to Avoid These Risks? 

To avoid these risks, you should first get a pregnancy checkup before doing this at home. Also, you should consult a doctor to prescribe better medicines according to your health case. You can also get advice from your doctor on how to do medication abortion at home and prevention. 

Contrakit for Medicinal Abortion 

Here is the most recommended medicine for abortion that gynecologists suggest, and you can take it home without facing any problems. 

Contrakit 200 mg is a common abortion pill that many doctors prescribe. It is an effective medicine without any side effects. Cramping and bleeding are usual for abortion, but no other problems are found in taking this medicine. 

The Usage of Mifepristone 

You can take it orally and take four misoprostol, all after 24- 48 hours each, respectively or as prescribed by the doctor. 

Moreover, you first have to put it on between your cheeks and tongue and then swallow it with any liquid; mostly water is used. You have to take a proper diet as it can bring weakness, so it is better to consume healthy food. 

However, you should never use any medicines without consulting a doctor, so it will be better if you will get advice from your trusted doctors.

Buying Mifepristone Pills Online 

It is an everyday tablet available in all online or offline pharmacies, and you can also find it on 24×7 Pharma, a well-known online medical store. Therefore, it will not be so challenging to get these medicines. 

Any abortion pill is different from other medicines, so its price is slightly higher than other types of medicine. You can buy them for 60$ each from any online store. The cost varies in different states. 

How Mifepristone Works? 

If this abortion doesn't require surgery, then let's discuss how it works. Progesterone is an essential element for pregnancy; without it, pregnancy cannot be held in the uterus. 

So, Mifepristone blocks progesterone, which causes bleeding in the uterus and empties it. It also causes high cramping pains for some hours. All the medicines for abortion are effective if they work like this. 

Who Cannot Take These Medicines? 

Women were having a long pregnancy. 

One cannot take these pills if she has problems with the adrenal gland (a gland near the kidneys) 

Has or had an allergy to Mifepristone. 

Has anemia or bleeding problems. 

Women who had a miscarriage a few days ago.

Bottom Line 

Three Myths About Medication Abortion are proved wrong above, and this type of abortion is straightforward and less risky. Moreover, it's better than going through scissors, and many doctors also prefer it. 

Except for the complicated cases, any woman can do it, and it is also legal in many countries, so there would be no problem finding medicines and treatments for it. Hope that the content above was helpful; if yes, share this important information with everyone.

going into manner of death you may think this is a show about an adult man with an adult job (performing autopsies on his childhood friends), but the further you get, the more clear it becomes that this is actually a show about an adult man with way too many adult jobs (he also treats patients in the ER, gets called in for emergency surgery, and juggles several potentially connected murder investigations as an unpaid side gig). no wonder literally every single person around him keeps randomly handing him food, even though we know he's a good cook. with only twenty-four hours in a day, it's a miracle he even finds the time to be weird and domestic with his prime murder suspect and their pet cactus

First Confirmed Death From Republican Abortion Ban in Georgia

In her final hours, Amber Nicole Thurman suffered from a grave infection that her suburban Atlanta hospital was well-equipped to treat.

She’d taken abortion pills and encountered a rare complication; she had not expelled all of the fetal tissue from her body. She showed up at Piedmont Henry Hospital in need of a routine procedure to clear it from her uterus, called a dilation and curettage, or D&C.

But just that summer, her state had made performing the procedure a felony, with few exceptions. Any doctor who violated the new Georgia law could be prosecuted and face up to a decade in prison.

Thurman waited in pain in a hospital bed, worried about what would happen to her 6-year-old son, as doctors monitored her infection spreading, her blood pressure sinking and her organs beginning to fail.

It took 20 hours for doctors to finally operate. By then, it was too late.
