On October 26, 2023, a nurse administered Mifepristone to a patient at the Alamo Women’s Clinic in Carbondale, Illinois. Mifepristone is a medication used in the treatment of early pregnancy loss. It works by inducing uterine contractions to terminate a pregnancy before the 20th week of gestation. The medication is prescribed to women experiencing miscarriage or a repeat pregnancy loss. It is typically administered in consultation with a physician and focuses on initiating a natural process of uterine expulsion. The procedure is designed to provide a safe and controlled option for women seeking to end a pregnancy.
