Overview
  1. "Mifepristone is not easy to get, many women resort to having an abortion through herbs or other things putting their lives at risk, because they do not have the possibility of getting the pills.
    The sale of misoprostol is prohibited unless it is prescribed by a doctor, but there are web pages that sell it illegally and at a price that for most is very high. The price and not knowing if it is reliable or a scam makes it difficult to access said pill
    Do not trust anyone who gives you supposed support, many people only seek their own benefit regardless of the physical and mental health of women."
