Why do you say this? Using the abortion pill is considered a safe alternative to surgical abortion, it just carries its risks just like any other procedure. There is a higher chance for it to fail, and will make the procedure a little more drawn out and uncomfortable compared to surgical abortion... but I wouldn't go so far as to say its dangerous and she is putting herself in serious danger by taking it. Some women just feel a lot more comfortable feeling as though they are miscarrying in the comfort of there own home.
OP, here is a site I found comparing surgical abortion to medical abortion:
http://www.fwhc.org/abortion/abpill-...e-surgical.htm It really is just whatever you feel more comfortable doing.
Like others have said, definitely go to Planned Parenthood. When I was in a position where I was considering abortion they were a great resource. They gave me parenting resources at well at adoption and abortion clinic references. They should be able to talk to you about payment options, options for lowered or waived fees and should know what will and won't show up on medical bills and insurance papers. Good luck, and we're here if you need to talk.
