A medical abortion can be done safely at home up to 10 weeks of pregnancy, as long as you have good information and access to emergency medical care in the rare case that there are complications.
The internet lists dozens of providers of medical abortion pills who we know nothing about. DO NOT USE THEM.
We recommend three trusted international sources:
- Women Help Women (For information, support, and pills)
- Women on Web (For information, support, and pills)
- Safe2Choose (For information and support)
“If you have an unwanted pregnancy, you are not alone. Millions of women every year end pregnancies. One in every four women will have an abortion in her lifetime. Women around the world have used abortion pills to have a safe abortion.”
