Abortion Pill Doctors | Choosing The Right Physician And Clinic.
Women are able to obtain the Abortion Pill From Doctors who have the experience and knowledge in caring for women undergoing the Medical Abortion Process.
The number of Physicians who perform the Abortion Pill Procedure in their private offices are unknown. This is due to the negative stigma that is associated with Abortion.
Physicians wives, husbands and their Families are generally harassed, intimidated and bullied in an attempt to make them stop performing abortions.
The Physician is called Immoral, Unethical, Sinful, Murderer and Baby Killer for helping women get through one of the most difficult times in their lives.
This is why the majority of Abortion Pill Procedures that are performed by Doctor’s, are done in a Abortion Clinic setting.
Nearly 88 percent of counties in the US to not have a abortion facility. The number of Abortion Clinics and Physicians performing abortions have dramatically dropped in the US over the past 10 years. This is due to the following:
- Graying and retirement of Physicians who perform abortions and not being replaced
- Harassment and intimidation from protesters
- State legislature’s passing restrictive laws in which it is impossible for them to comply and thus they are forced to close

Mifepristone causes separation of the pregnancy from the wall of the uterus, softens and opens the cervix (opening into the Uterus) and release of Prostaglandins from the lining of the Uterus that causes it to contract
Misoprostol is a Prostaglandin E1. It causes the Uterus (womb) to contract and the fetus and gestational expels (passes) through the Vagina.
