I asked this question on here four days ago:?

Question

"Which would be a better option, surgical abortion or the abortion pill? Does anyone know the physical and mental effects of each?"
It got reported and deleted. Why would someone do that? My best friend recently thought about either option, and I wanted to be able to be informed about both, so I could help her. I just wanted some personal experience. That was really mean!

Umm, no. If I was a good friend I would support her unconditionally in making the best choice she can for her and her family.

No, Plan B is NOT the abortion pill. Plan B is simply a highter dose contraceptive pill. I can't remember what the abortion pill is called, it's only been out for about a year I think.

Answer 1

I have never known of anyone having an abortion by taking a pill. With the surgical, she will have to go into a clinic and they will draw blood, take her into a room, do an ultrasound, take her into another and have her get undressed and into the gown and robe they give you, have her lie on a bed in stirrups, and they will give her a shot. Then he will use the thing like they do in a pap, and give her another shot into her cervix, this does not hurt, then will use the suction thing, during this she will feel like she is cramping similar to her menstral cycle. Then they will give her another shot in her arm to help close the cervix and all, then have her in a room for a few minutes to make sure she is ok. Then she will have prescriptions to fill and take the meds. Her belly will be a little tender for a few days and she may feel like she is cramping a little. I would imagine that the pill will abort the fetus first and try to let her pass it on her own, but I am not sure. I do not know how that works. If so, I dont think she could take being able to actually see the baby when it is out. I would recommend the surgical and let the doc take care of her instead. Do not hold me to the info on the pill, that is a pure guess. But it is always better when you have a doc looking over you and making sure everything is normal and doing like it should. I would imagine that the pill isnt all that safe either.

People will judge, but they do not know the situation your friend is in, so they are not informed enough to make an informed judgement. Just let them rant. They are more against abortion than they are your friend. Just look over some of the comments. There are many who do not regret the decision to abort bc of various reasons. The person aborting knows what is best for them and the baby. Let her make her decision and stick by her without judgement like you have been doing. There should be more friends like you. God Bless you and your friend!

Now I understand what pill you are talking about. This is the morning after pill, also known as plan B. Right? If so, then all she has is 72 hours from the date of unprotected sex to take this. If she knows she is pregnant, then it is too late for this as an option.

Answer 2

In my opinion, if she is going to do it either way, I would go with the pill. (if its not too late) I believe you have to take it within the first 72 hours after unprotected sex. It seems the pill would be the lesser of the two evils. I am sure the mental effects will be the same either way, sorry that I don't know how that feels. Pretty sure the physical effects are horrible if you go with the abortion. But I suppose that is the price you pay.

Answer 3

Medically speaking, a surgical abortion is safer than the abortion pill. Whatever you do with your body, always trust someone who studied and harder than you do. After all, they wouldn't be a doctor if they are not worthy of it.

Mental or psychological effect of an abortion is the same on either option. Even though I hate to be a moralist, abortion is worse than murder...since the one you're killing is defenseless and innocent. The guilt of the woman will haunt her for the rest of her life and an absolution to her action will never come...unless of course, she's a cold-hearted *****.

Bottom line, it's her choice. Word of caution though...abortions had been proven to lessen the lining of the uterus. Which means, that frequent abortions will lessen the probability of conceiving a child. But if she doesn't really want to have a child, I suggest that she opt for bilateral tubal ligation: that way, she will permanently never have the chance to get pregnant and she won't be troubled by abortion ever again.

Answer 4

The pill only works the morning after or close to it, so it's my guess that she's too far along for the pill. I would show her some pictures of aborted babies (go to Google images and type in aborted fetus). Try to encourage her to carrry the baby and give it up for adoption. I know women who have had abortions and they feel terribly guilty...maybe not right away, but down the road it took it's toll on them mentally.

Answer 5

Ive had questions and answered deleted too, and wondered what the $#%%#. I dont know if they're even checked when someone makes a complaint, if it its machine automated.

Also keep in mind the guidelines are pretty loose, you could complain here that someone didnt answer your question, and was on their "soapbox" and flag their response.

Answer 6

Neither one is "better"--abortion is abortion..plain and simple

if she needs some info, go to
www.plannedparenthood.com

Answer 7

idk why it would be deleted since abortion is legal. unfortunately. either way your friend will have to deliver this baby. so it doesnt matter how she kills it. i would stress to her that she should give birth and put it up for adoption. if you are a good friend you would tell her that

Answer 8

Adoption so she will not have to live with the consequences of her choice.

Answer 9

NONE is a good idea
