Comment pouvez-vous faire un avortement avec pilules?

Nous supportons des services d’avortement légaux et sécuritaires. Si vous habitez dans un pays dans lequel il n’y a pas d’accès à de tels services, sachez que le meilleur moyen qu’une femme peut prendre pour s’avorter elle-même sans danger et ce jusqu’à la 9ième semaine de grossesse, est par l’usage de deux médicaments appelés Mifepristone (également connu sous l’appellation de pilule abortive, RU 486, Mifegyn, Mifeprex) et Misoprostol (Cytotec, Arthrotec, Oxaprost ,Mibetec, Cyprostol or Misotrol).
Un avortement médical effectué de cette façon a un taux de réussite de 97%.
Si vous habitez un pays où vous ne pouvez accéder à un service d’avortement sécuritaire et que vous désirez obtenir un avortement médical avec Mifepristone and Misoprostol, s’il vous plait, allez voir le site Women on Web. C’est un service d’aide en ligne capable de vous mettre en contact avec un médecin qui pourra vous procurer un avortement thérapeutique.
