What Do You Need to Know to Protect Your Health and Future?
Before making any decision about emergency contraception or abortion pills, it’s important to have clear, factual information. Each option carries specific timing, risks, and considerations. Understanding these details first helps you protect your health and make well-informed choices.
Straight Facts for Students:
- Morning-After Pill (Plan B) – A form of “emergency contraception” designed to thwart the normal functioning of the female endocrine and reproductive systems, with the intention of reducing the chance of pregnancy after unprotected sex.
- Telemedicine Abortion or Order-By-Mail Abortion – Accessing medication intended to end an early pregnancy, provided through an online source with minimal medical oversight and/or follow-up. This could put a woman in grave danger from an undiagnosed life-threatening ectopic pregnancy (if untreated), the use of abortion drugs dangerously late in pregnancy, Blood – issues (Rh-factor) incompatibility that could put future pregnancies at risk, and/or pressure or coercion from someone else to abort.
- Abortion Pill Reversal – A medical protocol that may counteract the effects of the first abortion pill if taken promptly. If you or someone you know took the abortion pill and regret it, reversal may be possible. Studies show a successful reversal rate of around 66% with no increase in birth defects when using the most effective progesterone regimens.
