HOW THE DRUGS WORK
Mifepristone is taken first, swallowed by mouth. The drug dilates the cervix and blocks the effects of the hormone progesterone, which is needed to sustain a pregnancy.
Misoprostol, a drug also used to treat stomach ulcers, is taken 24 to 48 hours later. The pill is designed to dissolve when placed between the gums and teeth or in the vagina. It causes the uterus to cramp and contract, causing bleeding and expelling pregnancy tissue.
While the two-drug combination is slightly more effective, misoprostol is sometimes used alone for abortions. That practice is more common in countries where mifepristone is banned, but U.S. clinics were preparing to switch to the single drug if the lawsuit prevails.
HOW THE DRUGS ARE USED
Abortion medication is approved for use up to the 10th week of pregnancy.
The pills may be taken in a doctor’s office or clinic, where patients sometimes have an ultrasound or lab tests beforehand. Some providers also offer the pills through telehealth visits and then send patients the medication by mail.
Use of the pills has been increasing in recent years and they account for more than half of all U.S. abortions.

Yep, those dems and liberals can’t kill enough innocent babies fast enough. Dems are definitely the “PARTY OF DEATH”.
Maybe some day those pills will be laced with fentenal.
This piece is full of euphemisms. They have a required use to avoid the ugly truth.
Ironically, the writer of this article was discovered to be a clump of cells.
Government should stay the hell out of medicine.
Add it to fentanyl and other drugs.
Watch Unplanned. It is the best movie to understand what they are really doing.
And should be expelled.
