Before considering abortion pills, it is important to understand their effectiveness, expected results, and how to safely prepare for the process.
Medical termination of pregnancy using mifepristone and misoprostol is highly effective for early pregnancies, with success rates generally above 95% when used correctly under medical guidance.

It is also important to learn how the medications work together: mifepristone first blocks pregnancy-sustaining hormones, and misoprostol then induces uterine contractions to complete the process.

In this article, we talk about all the technical details and also lay down a guideline on how one can prepare, both physically and emotionally, to ensure access to a comfortable space, necessary supplies, and supportive care:

“Using mouse models, the research team selectively deleted PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 from either the uterus or the sensory nerves surrounding the cervix and vagina.

Mice missing both proteins displayed reduced uterine pressure and delayed delivery—indicating that both smooth muscle-based and nerve-based sensing work cooperatively, and that losing both pathways significantly impairs labor.”

Study reveals how uterine contractions are regulated by stretch and pressure during childbirth

When labor begins, the uterus must coordinate rhythmic, well-timed contractions to deliver the baby safely. While hormones such as progesterone and oxytocin are key contributors to that process, scientists have long suspected that physical forces—in this case, the stretching and pressure that accompany pregnancy and delivery—also play a role.

"They enter pregnancy sick and are expected to get sicker. Yet lawmakers who wrote the bans have refused to create exceptions for health risks. As a result, many hospitals and doctors, facing the threat of criminal charges, no longer offer these patients terminations, ProPublica found in interviews with more than 100 OB-GYNs across the country. Instead, these women are left to gamble with their lives."

Surveillance state for women’s bodies. They want prosecutors accessing medical records to enforce abortion bans.

Why this is dystopian: Your period tracking app, your doctor visits, your pharmacy records—all fair game for red state AGs building criminal cases.
