Hi, My Name Is Beth.

Hi. I'm Beth and I had a medication abortion in Kentucky in 2024.

I found out I was pregnant when I tested while trying to become pregnant, and my first thought was joy. I decided to have a medication abortion because there was no heartbeat at my 10 week ultrasound. I was heartbroken and knew medication would be safer and less invasive than a D&C.

I received my abortion pills through a clinic.

From start to finish, the process was simple, private, and safe. I took the pills at home, and I felt some pain and sadness. What surprised me most was how quickly it worked.

Because I had access to medication abortion, I was able to manage my health from the privacy of my home. I felt control.

I’m sharing my story because abortion pills are safe and effective and much more accessible.

Medication abortion is necessary.
