What is a Medical Abortion?

A medical abortion is typically a medication used to bring about an abortion. The combination of chemicals in the abortion pills are more than 95% effective during the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. The alternative is surgical abortion. The chemicals used are not the same as those used in the Morning After Pill.
