Abortion is one of the safest medical procedures. Use of abortion with medicine is not life-threatening, and has a low chance of causing complications. The risk of complications is the same as when a woman has a natural miscarriage. The most likely complications to occur are either a continuing pregnancy or an incomplete abortion. Both types of complications are easy to treat by a qualified provider. Though complications are rare, back-up emergency care is essential to ensuring safety when using abortion medicines. It is important that any woman using abortion medicines at home be able to identify when to seek medical care in case of complications and access a hospital or health clinic within 1 hour of travel from her home.
