medical abortion
Drug-induced pregnancy ending
Medical abortion is the termination of a pregnancy using drugs rather than surgery.
The most common method involves mifepristone followed by misoprostol, which together cause the uterus to expel its contents.
The procedure is typically available in the first ten to twelve weeks of pregnancy: She chose a medical abortion because it could be done at home.
