Regret taking the Abortion Pill?

The Abortion Pill, called Mifegymiso in Canada, is made up of two different medications. If you have only taken the first drug, mifepristone (also called Mifeprex), less than 72 hours ago, and have not yet taken the second medication, misoprostol (also called Cytotec), you may be able to preserve the pregnancy if you act quickly.

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT BELOW

The first video here is by Choice42 which tells the true story of a man’s experience watching the ultrasound during an abortion. The truth is that abortion kills a living human.

Below are videos created by Dr. Anthony Levatino to describe the abortion procedure in medical terms.

While Dr. Levatino has used textbook style images rather than real life images please be advised that the nature of abortion is very graphic and violent and so these videos may be disturbing.

It is the policy of Halton Alive not to use graphic imagery. This is the only section of our website that you may find the imagery disturbing. If seeing this is a trigger for you of a past abortion please visit our Abortion Recovery page for helpful resources. If this imagery angers or offends you please consider getting involved in helping to provide women with alternatives to abortion.
