Is abortion painful when undergoing surgery?
With today’s advanced medications that reduce anxiety, pain and discomfort, there is no reason for any woman to have to experience pain or discomfort during the surgical procedure. Even without an escort a woman who drives herself to and from the facility should not have to experience any pain discomfort with the advanced technology IV sedation medications that are in and out of the body in 30 minutes or less. Less than a decade ago, the majority of patients experienced discomfort because of them not receiving any medications to alleviate pain and anxiety, or the medications given were not able to take care of the patient’s discomfort. Even today in the majority of facilities where abortions are performed, the medications given are not the most advanced in achieving a rapid response to decreasing the patient’s pain and anxiety and they can take a very long time to clear the patient’s body that can take up to 2 or 3 days during which the patient is not able to return to her normal dutie
