Maybe you just saw two pink lines.
Maybe your stomach dropped and your thoughts started racing.
Before you even had time to process what’s happening, you found yourself searching online:
“Abortion pill near me.”
“Abortion pill online.”
“Can I get abortion pills by mail?”
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many women who reach out to Avenue Women’s Center tell us that their first step was a late-night Google search — looking for quick answers, privacy, and maybe just a sense of calm in the middle of the unknown.
The Search for Answers
The internet can be both helpful and overwhelming. Some sites make the abortion pill sound simple and straightforward. Others share conflicting or frightening information.
It’s easy to feel confused about what’s safe, what’s legal in your state, or where to start. And behind every search result is a real person — you — trying to make a deeply personal decision.
If that’s you right now, take a deep breath. It’s okay not to have all the answers yet.
Why So Many Are Looking Online
We hear it often:
“I just wanted something private.”
>“I didn’t want to go to a clinic.”
>“I needed to know what to do right away.”
Looking online or by mail can feel like the easiest way to stay in control. But it can also bring new questions:
- How can I tell if the pills are genuine?
- What if I’m further along than I thought?
- Who can I talk to if something doesn’t feel right?
It’s okay to have questions — you don’t have to figure everything out on your own.
