Underground Abortion Pill?

There is a new discovery alternative to surgical abortion in the Latin Society. In Latin America Cytotec, or the abortion pill, is an inexpensive underground abortion alternative available for women in Latin America. It does not consist of any needles, however there are serious side effects that often hospitalize many women. The pill is as low as $2 per pill and it has been smuggled into the United States for years to help Latin American immigrants who cannot afford abortion expenses in the US. The American medical system provides a similar pill called “mifepristone” that ranges from $400-$700 dollars in cost. This pill can only be use during the first 9 weeks of pregnancy. The pill blocks the hormone progesterone. If the uterus lacks progesterone, the possibility of a pregnancy continuing is rare. A second pill is then taken to empty the uterus. This causes cramps, fever, blood clots, and bleeding. Woman who take these pills result with the following side effects: bad cramps, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and chills. In the Latin America there is often a follow up process. The clinics that issue the pill will call and check up on patients to make sure the abortion is complete. Many women end up in the hospital after the final process of the abortion. This medication is validated as safe in the Us. I’m neutral when it comes to abortions. I am neither for nor against it. I just think this is much safer for those who are considering tragic options for terminating pregnancy.
