Hi there.  I think the best thing is to talk to your doctor or visit planned parenthood.  Typically medically induced abortions are done through the 9th week only hon.  A regular abortion is probably your only option now.  Time will run out on that too though if you do not act quickly.  The abortion procedure really is pretty simple with a few hours at the clinic spent, rest the rest of that day and on your feet just fine the next.  That is the typical occurrence any way.  Now, cost wise, you will pay more for a surgical abortion--  but some places such as planned parenthood have sliding fee scales to help with this.  The intent is to make abortions available to women and not 'cost out' some who wouldn't be able to afford it.  Every woman deserves this option. So, look up clinics available in your area and we'll go from there.  Do what is best for YOU hon. good luck

You won't be able to abort via medicine this far along. If you're set on abortion, you would need to get a D&C at a clinic. This far in, you risk your life if you try aborting at home.

Abortion by medicene is usually limited to 9 weeks of pregnancy. After that the baby has grown too much to safely abort with the pill. You're going to need to go to a clinic and you can discuss your options with them. They'll probably advise you to do the surgical procedure since your 12 weeks. They'll also be able to advise on your state laws, as some states don't allow abortion past a certain week.
I've never had an abortion and never would. But if it's what you really want and you think it best, then I wish you health & safety and a quick recovery. If you're still on the fence, talk to a pregnancy resource center
About adoption or even parenting.

If this is something you are seriously considering you need to go to a clinic or something of that sort for more info so you don't do harm to yourself. I'm not going to act like I know your situation or your reasoning bc I dont. It may not be the choice I would make, but it's not mine to make. I do sincerely  hope you consider all your options before going through with this.
