There are different types of abortions. There are medication based ones that kill the embryo and cause the uterus to expel the tissue, which is what all the fuss over mail ordering is about.
Then there are various surgical options which generally carry more of a risk.
Many people prefer the pills because you can do it at home without having to go somewhere you might be harassed by protestors or guilt tripped into keeping it.
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
Thanks I think…
You’re also a fediverse icon. I used to dislike you, but I’ve come around over time, and now view you as someone I like who occasionally says things I deeply dislike, but not enough for me to dislike you.
:D
I agree, but ol’ Don is, if nothing else, a curator of interesting writing prompts.
I can’t tell the stuff people are sarcasm or what. lol
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.
