Hi! OBGYN here. Mifepristone is only utilized under 10 weeks. And it is only used in certain cases. It is an anti-progesterone typically used in conjunction with misoprostol. It is used in elective terminations but also in management of different types of miscarriage or spontaneous abortions. I think it’s really important to highlight that this medication is used to manage a multitude of pregnancy complications. One and five pregnancies ends in a miscarriage and not all of those resolved on their own and require these agents. Otherwise the patient can end up with a more complicated or invasive surgical procedure or end up in the hospital due to sepsis or hemorrhage.

Isn’t it strange that they’re talking about options for buying guns online and having them shipped like it’s Amazon, but they worry about a pill that still requires you to see a practitioner for it?…

Kash Patel went snorkeling around a war grave and the American taxpayers paid for it. Disgusting.
