How does medication abortion work?

Definition

Medication abortion is an FDA-approved way to end an early pregnancy using two medicines: mifepristone, then misoprostol. It is the most common method of abortion in the United States per Guttmacher, and up to 98% effective when used as directed according to NAF.

Medication abortion uses two medicines. You take mifepristone first, which stops the pregnancy from growing. Six to 48 hours later, you take misoprostol, which causes cramping and bleeding to empty the uterus.

Learn more about mifepristone, misoprostol, cramping, bleeding, and how to take abortion pills.

Are there fake abortion clinics in San Francisco?

Yes. There are at least 1 fake clinic in San Francisco, and 1 more in nearby Oakland, as of November 2026.

Fake clinics, also called crisis pregnancy centers, look like medical clinics but don't provide abortion care. Watch for these red flags:

  • Abortion services aren't listed clearly
  • Staff won't share pricing or timelines over the phone
  • The business advertises "counseling" or "options education" instead of abortion care
  • They advertise “free” pregnancy services, including ultrasounds
  • The address shows up for "abortion near me" searches but it isn't a medical clinic
  • Staff pressure you to continue the pregnancy, or promote "abortion reversal"

Verify a clinic with INeedAnA.com or AbortionFinder.org, and report fake clinics at exposefakeclinics.com. In California, you can also file a complaint with the state Attorney General at oag.ca.gov/crisis-pregnancy-center-complaint. The City of San Francisco lists the City Attorney's Office (cityattorney@sfcityattorney.org) for complaints about deceptive clinics.
