How do abortions work exactly? I get you lose the kid or whatever. My ex rapist used to tell me if I ever got pregnant he would RU486 me. Wouldn't a person rather go to a doc instead of a pill?

    You are not a 40 year old traveling nurse? I find it hard to believe that a nurse wouldn’t know this.

      Everything about this account always seems bizarre to me, but I’ve never been able to pin down exactly who they are or why they post in the very strange manner they do

        Truly one of the fediverse’s greatest mysteries. I love seeing their questions pop up. Like Grapp on the old r/asksciencefiction

        I agree, but ol’ Don is, if nothing else, a curator of interesting writing prompts.

      Wasn’t enough room I meant scientifically. Does the brain see it as a foreign substance or whatever. I am very aware of abortions more asking about the abortion pills because they never had them back in my day besides the RU486 pill.

    Wellll, that’s a can of worms

    Ignoring the dubious issue of the implied involuntary dosing, there are multiple reasons for a person to prefer one method of body autonomous pregnancy cessation over another.

    Primarily, most of the medications used are way less painful and have fewer complications. Not that there’s no pain and no risks, just that they tend to be of low concern in comparison to surgical options.

    There’s also the relative degree of trauma being lower for medications. Again, it isn’t zero, but the fact of not having to have someone put things into your body while you suffer is a big plus on the side of medications.

    Overall, it’s just a less bad experience.
