Yes, in fact we were one of the first clinics in the country to offer medical abortion, in the early 1990s when RU-486 was undergoing FDA clinical trials.Medical abortion is an alternative to surgical abortion (D & C) in the form of the so-called French “abortion pill.” Mifepristone is an excellent alternative for some women who are under eight weeks pregnant by ultrasound. Mifepristone induces a miscarriage and can be more complicated than a surgical abortion. Having a medical abortion usually requires more office visits, time, and energy, but we believe it is the best option for some women. To read more about this option, see Information on Medical Abortion (Mifepristone).
