What Is The Abortion Pill?

The Abortion Pill is actually the combination of two medications:

1. Mifepristone (RU 486, Mifeprex, Mifegyne, French Pill, Early Options)
2. Misoprostol (Cytotec)

How Does The Abortion Pill Work?

Progesterone is the hormone responsible for maintaining the growth of an early pregnancy.

Mifepristone’s Mechanism of Action (MOA) is to bind to the Progesterone receptors on the uterine wall. This causes the breakdown of the pregnancy tissue and detaches (separates) the fetus away from the Uterine wall.

Misoprostol is a Prostaglandin E1 tablet. Misoprostol’s Mechanism of Action (MOA) is to bind to the Prostaglandine receptors on the Uterine wall and cause contractions. This leads to the fetal tissue being expelled through the vagina.

Can Someone Come In The Abortion Procedure Room With Me In Orlando, Florida? If No; Please Explain Why.

There are two issues involved with this very sensitive subject:

1. Security – The most important issue that abortion facilities have are the protection of women’s privacy and safety. Women Patients, Physicians and Medical Staff have been seriously injured or murdered inside or around medical facilities from individuals who believe abortion is murder, sinful and immoral.
2. Liability – We certainly understand women wanting support in the procedural room due to a host of reasons. This is not only a security issue but potentially a liability problem. There have been support personnel who suddenly become dizzy and faint. They have fallen and fractured their hip, suffered from an internal brain injury and died.

When the support person develops a medical issue in the procedure room, it takes our full concentration away from our patient who is undergoing the surgical or medical process and may lead to a catastrophic injury.

Our facilities offer VIP and Exclusive Service Packages. Patients and their escorts enter our medical buildings through a private entrance and assisted to a private room. A medical person is one on one care with the patient through the entire process. The escort is able to remain in the room until the procedure takes place. The support person may return to the room for the entire recovery process.

Our Exclusive Service is for women who only want or require to be the only patient in the building. It is our Private Abortion Clinic Courtesy. Arrangements can be made to be seen outside of normal business hours.

Can You Briefly Describe The Abortion Procedures Offered At Your Abortion Clinics In Orlando, Florida??

Dilation and Curettage (D&C):

This procedure is performed in the first trimester (3 to 14 weeks gestation) or early second trimester of pregnancy (14.1 to 16.4 weeks).

What Distinguishes an early second trimester abortion from a late second trimester abortion is that surgical instruments (forceps) are not required to manually remove (extract) the pregnancy tissue from within the Uterus.

The patient selectively receives IV Sedation, Deep Sedation, Advanced IV Sedation, or General Anesthesia.

After the patient is placed on the exam table in the position as having a Pap Smear performed, a vaginal speculum is placed inside the vagina. This is used to maintain the opening of the vaginal walls so that the cervix may be visualized.

The cervix is anesthetized with Lidocaine and dilated (opened) with sterile dilators (rods) followed by insertion of a sterile curette (the size of a straw) inside the uterus and the pregnancy tissue is gently removed.

The procedure is a 3 minute pain free safe abortion.

3) Dilation and Evacuation (D&E):

This procedure is performed between 16.5 to 24 weeks and beyond.

Late termination of pregnancy procedures in the USA are most commonly performed using the D&E process. In other parts of the. World the Late Term Abortion Pill Method is utilized. The Late Term Medications used are Mifepristone and Cytotec or Cytotec alone.

This D&E procedure normally requires cervical preparation where the cervix is dilated and softened using Laminaria and or Prostaglandines.

Cervical Priming:

Laminaria is sterile seaweed that is shaped like and the length of a matchstick. When placed inside the cervix, they absorb water and expand like a sponge.

They are placed inside the cervix may remain for 4 hours to 24 hours. This allows dilation (opening) of the cervix to occur.

The purpose of using Laminaria to prime the Cervix is to decrease the incidence of cervical tears, bowel and bladder damage, hemorrhage, retained tissue, uterine infection, uterine perforation, chronic pelvic pain, infertility or hysterectomy.

Several Laminaria can be inserted at the same time. Adequate priming of the Cervix may take 1 to 4 days.

Prostaglandines (cytotec/misoprostol) may also be used as a cervical priming agent or induce labor.

The surgical procedure is described as in the Suction D&C in #2 above, plus there may be special forceps used to aid in the manual evacuation of the pregnancy tissue from within the uterine cavity.

Fetal Demise Induced:

The possibility of a live birth is a possibility in pregnancies that are 22 weeks or greater. In the presence of a live birth (fetal heartbeat, breathing or a palpable pulse in the cord) resuscitation measures must be initiated.

To avoid this remote possibility of a live birth from occurring, fetal demise should be considered.

Patients who are generally further than 21 weeks pregnant, undergo fetal intercardiac injection with Digoxin or Potassium Chloride (KCL) stops the fetal heartbeat instantly on day one of the D&E procedure.

Dioxine may be injected into the musculature of within the amniotic fluid. This also allows the fetus to succumb in 24 hours or less.

After adequate cervical priming is assured (day 2 to 4), the pregnancy tissue is gently removed with manual forceps. This process normally takes 10 to 20 minutes.

Medical Abortions (Abortion Pill):

Early Medical abortions are generally performed between 3 to 10 weeks gestation.

Out-patient or In-clinic abortions are used to terminate pregnancies in the first trimester (3 to 14 weeks), second trimester (14.1 to 28 weeks) third trimester (28.1 weeks plus) or late term abortions (21.3 weeks or further) utilizing the Abortion Pill.

The most common medications used are RU 486 (Mifepristone, Mifeprex, Mifegyne) and Cytotec (Misoprostol).

Other ways of performing medical abortions are with Methotrexate and Cytotec or Cytotec alone.

Late Medical Abortions can occur between 11 to 24 weeks or further. In essence; second trimester and late term abortions can be performed using the Abortion Pill Method. They are used at any gestational age of pregnancy.

The process can be started and completed within 24 hours or less 99% of the time with less than 1% chance of complications or side effects.
