How Do Abortion Pills Work?

The video discusses medication abortions, focusing on misoprostol and mifepristone. Misoprostol, initially for ulcers, causes uterine contractions to end pregnancies. Mifepristone blocks pregnancy hormones, enhancing misoprostol's effectiveness. Together, they are over 95% effective within ten weeks. The process mimics a miscarriage, making it hard to distinguish from natural miscarriages. These medications are safe, with most symptoms resolving quickly. Legal use varies by location and pregnancy duration.
