How medication abortion works
Medication abortion uses two FDA-approved medicines: mifepristone and misoprostol.
- Mifepristone stops the pregnancy from growing.
- Misoprostol, taken 6-48 hours later, helps empty the uterus.
- Together, they are up to 98% effective through 10 weeks.

About abortion access in Lincolnwood
Care just over the city line. The nearest clinic sits about 10 minutes south on Chicago's Northwest Side, with another option in neighboring Skokie. For many patients, the bigger barrier may be appointment availability, clinic hours, privacy, or transportation.
A bus-and-car suburb. Lincolnwood has no Metra or CTA rail stop of its own. Pace's Lincoln Avenue bus connects the village to the CTA Yellow Line in Skokie, and the Edens Expressway runs through town, so getting to care can still mean working around work schedules, childcare, or a shared car.
Why patients choose Hey Jane. Care that comes to you in Lincolnwood. Even with clinics nearby, patients do not always need to travel for care. With Hey Jane, you can consult with a licensed Illinois provider in one business day and get pills delivered to your Lincolnwood address in two to three, typically with no travel or waiting room required.
