Cost Of Abortion Pill:

The Abortion Pill, in the United States, costs from $350 to $650. Costs can vary if additional tests, visits, or exams are needed. RU-486 (the "Abortion Pill"), on the market since 2000, has become an increasingly common alternative to surgical abortions. While the overall number of abortions in the U.S. has been declining, RU-486-induced abortions have been rising by about 22% a year and now account for nearly 14% of all abortions.

The Abortion Pill ends a pregnancy by blocking the hormone progesterone. Women take the pill in the doctor's office and then go home, where they take another drug, misoprostol, to trigger contractions, essentially causing a miscarriage. Women then return to the doctor within about two weeks to make sure it worked and that there are no lingering complications.

The price of the Abortion Pill (a medical abortion) is usually the same or even higher than a surgical abortion.

In some European countries, more than 60 percent of abortions are performed with RU-486. The increase in its use is due in part to additional doctors and clinics that previously did not perform abortions now offering the drug. Many abortionists have begun to offer the Abortion Pill in addition to surgical abortion to increase their profits and reduce their liabilities.
