The abortion pill is medication that can be used to abort an early pregnancy.

The embryo comes out after the doctor appointment, and bleeding typically lasts one or two weeks.

The abortion pill doesn’t always cause an abortion.

There can be physical complications, but the emotional side-effects are largely unknown.
