What do you know about the abortion pill?

In 2025, an estimated 72 million women worldwide chose abortion. Surprising to most is that 60% of abortions in Ohio are medical, not surgical, abortions. The “abortion pill” is a medical abortion. These medications are often unregulated, from over-the-counter vendors who do not provide education, counseling or any safeguards for women’s health.

Women facing an unexpected pregnancy often choose the abortion pill but are not given all the information. Starting Point’s goal is to ensure that young women who believe abortion is their only option have access to comprehensive information—including critical details about Abortion Pill Reversal (APR)—so they can make a fully informed decision before making a life-altering choice.

Medical abortions use two drugs. The first blocks the progesterone hormone, which is needed for the pregnancy to continue. When used together with the second drug, it will end an early pregnancy. If a woman takes the first abortion pill and regrets the decision, there is help just a phone call away. Calling the 24/7 available APR hotline within 72 hours of taking the first pill is critical. The hotline allows women to get the necessary prescription to reverse the effects of the first pill, potentially saving the life of their child.

Starting Point strives every day to create a safe place for those with needs related to pregnancy. We provide limited prenatal medical services, education, parenting support, material assistance, counseling and reproductive loss care. All services are offered at no cost, with no income restrictions or insurance required.
