No state law can prevent doctors or emergency rooms from treating women for ectopic pregnancies, life-threatening complications, miscarriages, or botched abortions.
How Chemical Abortions Are Done
Abortion Pill(s) are used in chemical abortions, now referred to as medical abortions. The pregnant woman often takes the pills at home or in college housing. The first drug kills the baby by starving him or her of oxygen and nutrients. The second drug causes the mother to go into delivery to expel the baby’s remains, the placenta, and large portions of blood
Progesterone is the hormone that protects the lining of the uterus. The first pill, mifepristone, blocks progesterone and causes the uterine lining to break down.
Mifepristone cuts off blood and nourishment from the baby. The goal is to starve the child in the womb to death.
24-48 hours later, the second pill, misoprostol, is taken. It causes contractions that can create painful cramping and heavy bleeding to expel the baby.
Women will be told to miscarry at home over the toilet. If they (were to) look closely, they would see their dead child. Even at seven weeks, it is possible to see his or her fingers and toes.
