Abortion pill? Catholics don't reply please.?

Question

I am looking at all of my contraception options carefully at the moment, and I would like to know about any experiences that you might have had with the abortion pill? And any extra usefull details would be good. Thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

The abortion pill is NOT a contraceptive. It is only a last resort should your actual contraceptive have failed for whatever reason.

Answer 2

I have two friends who have taken it. Both of them were violently ill, suffered terrible cramps and felt ill for days afterwards.

Also there is this to consider: it may work as birth control but it does nothing to protect you from STD's like HIV, Syphilis and Paploma Virus - all of which are fatal diseases or lead to fatal diseases.

You might say "He's so s**y I could die" but you don't really think any man is worth dying for do you?

So use condoms until you're sure it's all monogamous faithful relationship territory.

Really.

Answer 3

MURDERER btw im not catholic...i'm human

Answer 4

You shouldn't imply that all Catholics are against abortion or that the only people against abortion are Catholic.

Answer 5

The abortion pill is not a contraceptive, it is an abortion.  The only difference is that you take a pill at home and basically miscarry in your home rather than having a surgical procedure.  It is dispensed by a doctor after you have a positive pregnancy test and has to be followed up by an exam.  Sometimes a medical abortion (which is what it is called when you take the pill) is not complete and needs to be followed up by a "standard" abortion (a D&C).  

If you are referring to the "Morning After Pill" (Plan B) that is not an abortion pill, that is an emergency contraceptive to keep you from getting pregnant in the first place if you have unprotected s*x or your protection fails.  It has to be taken within a certain window of time after your "accident" to be effective.  It is basically like a big ole' dose of birth control.

The Pill (regular daily dose birth control pills) is not an abortion pill, either, it is a dose of hormones to keep you from getting pregnant in the first place.

Answer 6

I'm a catholic and I would never say don't have an abortion if that was what was best for you. Each to their own. Maybe dont judge people so much next time, not all catholics are narrow minded. As for the pill, I have never had an abortion. Do you mean the contracpetive pill? If so I am on it and it is fine, I have not got pregnant since being on it anyway. And no serious side effects.

Answer 7

i'm not catholic..

but really, it's not the baby's fault..

don't kill it.

be responsible -_-

Answer 8

birth control is for PREVENTING pregnancy...an abortion pill is not birth control...its what irresponsible people use when they mess up...btw u dont have to be catholic to know that its wrong. also try using the pill or condoms to prevent getting pregnant in the first place

Answer 9

Abortion takes a life.

Regardless of development ... it is still a life that would otherwise grow into someone like you or me.

I know this will be the most popular answer but thought I would just say the obvious.

Answer 10

There are other people who are pro-life who are not Catholic you know!

I am Catholic, and I am pro-life. So you can guess my answer. To the others who claim to be Catholic and pro-choice...you are Catholic only in name because someone baptized you that way and nothing else. Sad and shameful is all I can say.  

Answer 11

Trust me, not all Catholics are pro-life. That's just a stereotype.

I'm 100% pro-choice and a Catholic.

Anyways, go for it. If it's what you think is right, have the abortion.

Good luck. =]

Answer 12

abortion pills aren't contraception hun.... birth control is. I'm hoping u mean u are looking into birth control not abortion. i have tried several types of BC for a few years and the only one that didn't give me horrible side effects (vomiting, upset stomach, breaking out, insomnia) was ortho-trisprintec. i have tried ortho-tricycline, mercett and a few other brands and this is the only one i liked. u just take it at the same time every day with water and after about 4 months of daily use u are protected against pregnancy to a degree. u can still get pregnant on the pill tho (my friend had twins at 17 to prove it.. she used a condom AND was on the pill for 2 years and she still got pregnant) and the pill obv doesn't protect against any STDS. mine costs $9 a month and i get mine at walmart although u need to see ur gyno or primary care physician first to get a prescription

if u really are talking about abortion pills i have never taken it so i am not very useful but my college room mate did take it. she was very ill for several days after, she had very heavy cramps, sudden and heavy bleeding, nightmares and ridiculous dry mouth. she was drinking tons of water and still feeling severely dehydrated.  

the choice is urs.. i cant tell u what to choose. i personally do not agree with abortion but u know ur situation better than anyone here and im not going to judge u.  i hope u decide to keep the baby in the end or give it up for adoption but if u dont then good luck and i hope everything works out for u  

Answer 13

I'm not Catholic, but I hope you know the abortion pill is NOT a contraceptive/

Cerazette is apparently quite an effective birth control pill... BUT it has many side effects mimicing PMT that are really unpleasant.

Answer 14

i'd say just have the baby

Answer 15

Abortion and the abortion pill is not or should not be a form of contraception. You should try a condomn or the pill instead...they are still quite effective...

Answer 16

If you're intending to use a good form of contraception (good for you btw) then why do you need to know about abortion pills? Hopefully it won't come to that. If you have unprotected s*x and worry about pregnancy then take the morning after pill within 72 hours. If you do it properly, it's something you'll never have to worry about.

Good luck
