New data shows that abortion rates in the U.S. are at their lowest since abortion became legal nationwide in 1973—perhaps, as nytimes reported, due to more women managing their abortions by themselves, without the help of a medical practitioner:
, a project of Women Help Women, provides information about the safe use of abortion pills to end an unwanted pregnancy without a clinician, including access to skilled bilingual counselors in English or Spanish through a secure portal., which is working to make medication abortion available around the world, answered some questions for us about self-managed abortion and where activism intersects with this burgeoning movement.
Another reason is that clinics may not have a clinician available at a time that is best for the person seeking an abortion pills — they may only be able to administer the mifepristone, say, on Tuesdays or Wednesdays which forces you to take the misoprostol 24 hours later and bleed on schedule.
The final reason is cost. For first trimester abortion before 10 or 11 weeks, whether one is using medicines or having an aspiration abortion, the cost is between $500 and $700. These abortion pills are available in a range of places in a range of prices, but always at lower prices than that.If a person is seeking mifepristone plus four misoprostol, which is 95 to 98 percent effective in the first 10 or 11 weeks of pregnancy, studies show that quality medicines are available on the internet.
The World Health Organization has also established a protocol for using misoprostol alone. Women in Brazil actually figured that out by looking at the label which said “Don’t use if your pregnant. Could cause cramps.” They actually identified it as a way to have a safe abortion. The World Health Organization, after much research, has createdwhich describe how to use 12 misoprostol pills alone for a safe abortion up to 12 weeks. Misoprostol is used to treat arthritis and ulcers.
