Early medical abortion and how its safety compares with in-clinic or surgical procedures is one of the most important and frequently asked questions.

There has been rapid growth in the use and preference for medication abortion over surgical abortion. In the United States, medication abortion accounted for roughly 63% of all abortions in 2023, a steep increase from prior years, and this trend continued into 2024 as access expanded through telemedicine and at-home care models.

Many people and clinicians prefer medical over surgical abortion because it can be offered earlier in pregnancy, provides privacy and the option of remote care (reducing travel, cost, and time burdens), avoids an invasive procedure, and supports patient autonomy in choosing the setting of care.

So if you’re curious or looking for a well-summarized, evidence-based overview of early medical abortion, read this article.

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:

I'm back to hosting #Comedon this week! @greenpepper22 has been keeping the movies rolling but has other duties to attend to tomorrow night.

Next up is Juno with Elliott Page and Michael Cera dealing with unplanned pregnancy in high school. It feels like something I hardly need to say on the fediverse, but when the film was made Page presented as female, but has since transitioned. In the role he became the sixth-youngest Oscar nominee but Best Actress instead went to Marion Cotillard for her portrayal of Édith Piaf. Quelle dommage!

I've been wanting to see it since it came out in 2007, but at the time my life was pretty much defined by the end result of our own kinda-sorta-not-exactly-planned-but-we'll-roll-with-it pregnancy and I didn't get out to movies very often.

There are a lot of paid services that have Juno and you can find them listed on

I've been looking for free options and so far have only found this one which is in sub-optimal, but viewable, 380p resolution.

Gee, this isn't making it sound very fun but it is a very well-regarded comedy...

The movie isn't about gender identity but it might come up as a meta topic and that's total legit.
