Empathy and Understanding
Abortion pills are a great option for those seeking to terminate a pregnancy. The abortion pill is an accessible method as it does not require a doctor’s visit, procedure, or medical personnel. It can be done in the privacy of your own home, allowing you maximum comfort in an environment that is personal to you. Other options include an in-clinic abortion done under medical supervision. safe2choose assists people seeking safe abortion in exploring these different methods.
At safe2choose, we have helped many people through the abortion or reproductive process and many have chosen to share their stories through their testimonials. One such person is Laura, an individual raised in a very Catholic family in Columbia. Though her Columbian culture emphasized the importance of motherhood, becoming a parent was not necessarily the right decision for Laura. When Laura got pregnant after a short-term relationship, she knew that the best decision for her was to end the pregnancy.
Though Laura knew she wanted an abortion, Columbia only allows abortion under specific circumstances. Unfortunately, Laura’s situation did not fall into any of these abortion-eligible categories. Despite being firm in her decision and wanting autonomy over her own body to make this choice, both societal and familial influences prevented her from doing so freely. Thankfully, Laura found safe2choose, a reputable resource for those seeking abortion care.
safe2choose presented Laura with multiple options for abortion. Given her personal preferences, she opted for an in-clinic abortion, specifically, a vacuum aspiration abortion. safe2choose connected her with a local provider where she was able to have a safe abortion. Despite the pushback from her own family, Laura was able to find a community of women at safe2choose who were free of judgment and full of understanding. Because of her positive experience, Laura is now able to live child-free and proceed with the life she always envisioned for herself.
At safe2choose, there are hundreds of other positive stories just like Laura’s. We aim to provide the resources and support needed to navigate your reproductive health questions.

Support and Options
safe2choose can provide you with resources related to the various options for abortion procedures. There are several types of abortions, which are detailed below.
The Abortion Pill
The abortion pill can consist of two types of medication: Mifepristone and Misoprostol. Mifepristone is taken first and works by blocking the progesterone hormone. Stopping progesterone causes the uterine lining to break down, making the pregnancy unsustainable. Misoprostol helps the uterus empty the pregnancy contents. Depending on which protocol you use, you may take both Mifepristone and Misoprostol or Misoprostol only. The abortion pill is a great option for many people as it is a very accessible method.
In-clinic abortion
An in-clinic abortion is a procedure done at a medical office. There are a few types of in-clinic abortions, but they all involve suctioning out the pregnancy contents from the uterus, thus terminating the pregnancy. An in-clinic abortion requires health-care professionals to safely execute the abortion. A benefit of this abortion method is that it can be done in later pregnancy when abortion pills might not be an option.
Choosing a method
Deciding which abortion procedure is right for you is an important personal decision. The safe2choose team is knowledgeable in each of these options, and our licensed counselors are available via chat or email to help discuss your options.
