In some states, some clinics offer telehealth consultations where you can then pick up the prescribed abortion pill at the clinic or local pharmacy.
Not every state offers telehealth consultations, but the risk is that you skip the step of an ultrasound which is the best medical practice in order to ensure you are under 11 weeks, assess for miscarriage indicators, and rule out an ectopic pregnancy. The abortion pill is ineffective beyond 11 weeks and in the case of an ectopic pregnancy.
The abortion pill process is actually a series of two drugs. The first is called mifepristone, which blocks progesterone so the pregnancy is no longer able to progress.
The second drug, misoprostol, is taken 24-48 hours later. This second pill will force the uterus to contract, essentially putting a woman into labor so that the fetus is expelled.
