The abortion pill isn’t a decision. It’s a default.

The moment a woman fears she’s pregnant, her phone becomes her counselor: “Abortion pill. Cheap. Fast. No clinic needed.” Within hours, pills can be shipped.

Unless someone steps in first.

At Care Net Peninsula, we fight the clock. Because when you’re saving a life, hours matter. Your year-end gift ensures we’re there to answer her call.

Let me show you her timeline the way she lived it.

HOUR 1 – SHOCK

I don’t feel right. Nausea. Anxiety. A knot in my stomach. I keep putting off taking the test because if I don’t know, maybe it isn’t real.

But finally, I look. Two lines. My heart drops. My worst fear is real. I have to be about 9 weeks pregnant.

HOUR 2 – PANIC SEARCH

I grab my phone and start Googling. Before I can even finish typing, ads like this flood my screen. It doesn’t feel like choices, it feels like pressure.

THANKS TO YOU, WE INVEST HEAVILY IN GOOGLE ADS TO FIGHT FOR LIFE ONLINE.

HOUR 3 – A PRICE ON LIFE

I click on a website. I expect the cost to stop me. Instead, I see something shocking: it’s cheaper than I thought, as low as $150 and if I can’t afford it, they’ll “help me pay for it.”

HOUR 4 – NO HUMAN REQUIRED

I start a form. No doctor. No counselor. Not even a voice on the phone. Just answer some questions … and the pills are on their way.

YOUR YEAR-END GIFT BREAKS THE TIMELINE!

HOUR 24 – DELIVERED

The next day, a package shows up on my doorstep. Plain. Unmarked. No questions asked.

HOUR 25 – FIRST PILL

I open the package. I swallow the first pill — Mifepristone. It blocks the hormone that sustains my baby’s life.

There’s no turning back*.

HOUR 48 – SECOND PILL

28-48 hours later, I take the second pill — Misoprostol. It’s actually 2 to 4 pills that dissolve in my mouth. I repeat this process two more times over the next 6 hours. 

HOUR 49+ – ALONE IN THE AFTERMATH

The cramping intensifies. The bleeding becomes heavy, sometimes severe. I’m passing the remains of my baby … by myself. 

What they don’t tell you is that for many women, the pain and bleeding become so intense that they end up in the ER. Research shows roughly 1 in 10 abortion pill patients require emergency care. That could be mine.

This timeline is devastating. A woman goes from fear to an abortion pill in hours: alone, scared, and pressured by the world to make the panic go away. But that is not where her story has to end. Your generosity breaks into her timeline. It gives her something the abortion industry never will: time, truth, and someone who sees her. When you give, you help her reach us first. You help us answer the phone on the first ring. You help us offer same-day and next-day appointments. You make space for hope, before pills arrive at her door.

This year-end, would you make your most generous gift so we can be there in those critical hours? You can make your gift at the button below. Your gift breaks the timeline. Your gift saves a life!
