Why is a medical abortion performed?

Having a medical abortion is a highly personal decision based on your own circumstances. Someone may choose to have a medical abortion because they’re concerned about passing along a congenital or inherited disease. Some may want to end an unwanted pregnancy. Providers sometimes use the same pills to treat a miscarriage that hasn’t expelled yet, known as a missed abortion. Your provider might refer to this as completing a miscarriage. A medical abortion may also be an option if carrying the pregnancy could be life-threatening. Everyone’s situation is different. Reaching out to a healthcare provider who understands your medical history and healthcare needs can help as you weigh your options.
