Abortion pills or abortion
tablets are designed to bring on an abortion for a woman who is less than nine
weeks pregnant (that is less than 9 weeks since her last period). They
are designed to be used in abortion clinics. When a woman attends an abortion
clinic, her medical history is taken (for example does she take any medicines,
or have any other illness that may be affected by these tablets). Any risk
factors (such as an increased likelihood of excessive bleeding) are identified
to make sure that the abortion pills would be suitable for her. The clinic will
also confirm that the pregnancy is an ongoing single embryo, less than nine
weeks’ size, and that it is located in the womb. If the pregnancy does not fit
into this category (for example a tubal/ectopic pregnancy, or a pregnancy of
more than 12 weeks’ size) it would be unsafe for the abortion clinic to
prescribe the abortion tablets. In such a situation the abortion clinic would
discuss alternative methods of abortion. If suitable, the woman takes the pills
at the clinic, with a certain time-interval between doses, if she wishes to
bring on an abortion. At the clinic there is a specialist doctor on-hand to
deal with any complications or problems that may arise during this process,
such as excessive bleeding or collapse.

Points to be Noted Before Using an
Abortion Pill
- The
chemical triggers the abortion and it is possible
that there is incomplete abortion in some cases. Even though it is
available freely, it should be taken with prior consent of your doctor.
The doctor is the best to decide whether you are fit to take the pill or
not.
- Patients
that are suffering from heart disease, asthma, diabetes, anemia or some
other problems are not suggested this drug. Heavy smokers and HIV patients
are also suggested not to undergo this kind of abortion.
- Even
if some of the abortion pills are considered quite safe, the woman should
be aware of the side effects beforehand. This is because if the side
effects turn to be life threatening, it is attended immediately. For
example if the woman bleeds a lot, it can be a problem and she needs to
see a doctor without delay. Too much or too little bleeding can turn
dangerous and needs to be attended by a specialist.
- There
is possibility of infection if the abortion process is left incomplete.
This can be an additional risk for the woman and it should be focused as
soon as possible.
- Some
women might feel painful cramps and if they are severe, proper pain
medication will help.
- If
there is any kind of injury to the fallopian tube, it might result in complications and the woman might face difficulty in
conceiving in future.
It has been observed that the abortion pills have
plenty of side effects and women should understand that it is not the only way
to terminate their pregnancy. It is always better to consult a doctor before
taking any kind of step. You never know what will go wrong in the way and might
affect your entire life.
Remember,precaution is better than cure. It is
not the question of ethics or belief, but it is the matter of your life and the
generation that is to come through your medium. Abortion itself has some risks
involved, but if it is done with the hands of experienced and skilled
specialist, the risks are minimum.
Apart from the physical side effects, one should
not forget the psychological effects that these have on the woman. Most of them
feel depressed and other emotional pains for a long time. These effects are
- Depression
- Suicidal
thoughts
- Thoughts
of death
- Feeling
of being cruel
- Flashbacks
These effects are quite natural of a woman to feel
when she goes through abortion, either willingly or she is forced to do it
either because of social or family problems. However, stress management
techniques may work wonders to cope with such situation.
