Q: can someone who has factor v take the abortion pill safely or would their only option be a surgical abortion?

: Factor V Leiden and any disease affecting clotting disorders can cause excessive bleeding using the "abortion pill". I surgical abortion may also cause longer bleeding episodes, but medications to contract uterine smooth muscle will increase the safety of such pregnancy terminations.
