Another name for RU-486 is a medical or chemical abortion. The abortion pill can cost anywhere between $450-$900. While abortion remains illegal in Alabama, Turning Point is still your first step.

It is usually taken between 4-6 weeks but is FDA approved to up to 10 weeks after a woman's last menstrual period. The abortion pill is not an option for people with certain medical conditions or if the pregnancy occurs outside of the uterus. Note: It is not the same as emergency contraceptives.
