I just want to make sure that you and your girlfriend knew the risks of using Cytotec for abortion. Abortion caused by Cytotec may be incomplete, which could lead to potentially dangerous bleeding and infection. Your girlfriend should be aware of these risks, since she is the one who will take the Cytotec (NOT YOU !).
