What Are the Risks of Ordering the Abortion Pill Online?

April 1, 2026

The abortion pill is a two-drug process with specific medical requirements, and those requirements exist for good reasons. Ordering online bypasses every one of those reasons. From unregulated sources and counterfeit drugs to undetected ectopic pregnancies, the risks of skipping in-person screening are significant and, in some cases, life-threatening.

At Crossroads PRC La Grange, our team is here to give you the information you want to know about abortion procedures, along with no-cost pregnancy testing and the opportunity to meet with a registered nurse who can walk through your health history and answer your questions. 

Facing another unexpected pregnancy when you have already been through this before brings its own kind of weight. You may have clarity about one thing, that you do not want to go through another abortion, while everything else still feels uncertain. That clarity matters. It is worth honoring, and it is a place to start.

At Crossroads Pregnancy Resource Center, our team is here to listen, answer your questions, and help you understand your options without pressure or judgment.

At Crossroads Pregnancy Resource Center, we offer a calm and confidential space to process your thoughts about your pregnancy and explore your various options. Here’s how you can approach these critical conversations with confidence and care. 

Confirm Your Pregnancy First

Finding out your girlfriend may be pregnant often raises many questions—about health, finances, and what comes next. One common question guys ask is whether their insurance will cover the cost of an abortion.
