MEDICAL ABORTION
The Abortion Pill: What You Need to Know
​The abortion pill is actually a two-drug regimen. The first drug, mifepristone, blocks the hormone progesterone needed to sustain a pregnancy. The second, misoprostol, causes uterine contractions to expel the pregnancy. The FDA has approved this method through 10 weeks of pregnancy.
​
Before taking these medications, it's important to understand what to expect and what risks are involved.
​
Common Side Effects
-
Abdominal cramping
-
Vaginal bleeding
-
Nausea or vomiting
-
Headache
-
Diarrhea
-
Fever or chills
​
Known Risks
-
Infection
-
Heavy or prolonged bleeding
-
Incomplete abortion (may require surgery)
-
Ongoing pregnancy if drugs are ineffective
-
Digestive system complications
​
SURGICAL ABORTION
Surgical Abortion: What You Need to Know
Surgical abortion is typically performed later in pregnancy and uses surgical instruments, medications, and/or suction to end the pregnancy. As with the abortion pill, cramping and vaginal bleeding are expected. The risks are serious and can include:
​
Risks of Surgical Abortion
-
Infection
-
Uterine perforation (a surgical tool punctures the uterus)
-
Scar tissue on the uterine wall
-
Damage to the cervix

OKLAHOMA LAW
Your Rights Under Oklahoma Law
Abortion is currently illegal in Oklahoma except when a physician determines it is necessary to preserve the life of the mother.
​
No one can pressure you into an abortion. If you are being threatened or coerced, you have the right to contact local or state law enforcement for protection.
​
Any abortion facility operating legally is required by Oklahoma law to provide you with the following information at least 72 hours before performing an abortion:
-
The name of the performing physician and confirmation of their licensure and board certification
-
The medical risks of the specific abortion procedure to be performed
-
The probable gestational age of the baby at the time of the abortion
-
The medical risks of carrying your pregnancy to term
-
Availability of free ultrasound and fetal heartbeat monitoring
-
Information about available medical assistance benefits for prenatal care, childbirth, and newborn care
-
That the father is liable to assist in the financial support of your child
-
Access to printed materials from the Oklahoma State Board of Medical Licensure, including a resource directory

CHANGED YOUR MIND?
It May Not Be Too Late
If you've taken mifepristone (the first abortion pill) and have had a change of heart, there may still be time to continue your pregnancy.
​
Abortion Pill Reversal (APR)
Abortion Pill Reversal involves taking progesterone to counteract the effects of mifepristone. Time is critical — please reach out to us as soon as possible.
