AnswerThis is a very dangerous thing to be doing without doctor supervision. I would not advise her to take any more of this medication. There have been recent reports of women having severe and long-term bleeding when taking the abortion pills. No, I can't say that this would be safe at all. Please check with a doctor and a doctor that is prolife. Email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know if you receive this and what you are going to do.
