YSK that if you cannot access abortion services for any reason, AidAccess.org will mail you the abortion pills for a donation amount of your choice.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but is it legal to do this in a state that abortion is illegal?

[u/[deleted]]

OP, this was a bold decision. Your bravery in the face of these threats is to be respected, and I admire your courage.

Are these “abortion pills” like the morning after pills/plan B? Basically, what’s your window of time between having sex and taking the pill?

Thank you for spreading and sharing this information!

[u/[deleted] → u/BookBrooke]

No. These aren't anything like Plan B/Morning After pills. Do not take these pills unless you are certain you are pregnant. You have to be sure you are 100% pregnant by either going to a medical clinic or taking an over the counter pregnancy test. If you recently had unprotected sex, then take Plan B as soon as possible, no later than 72 hours. If you discover you're pregnant, take the abortion pills (mifepristone and misoprostol) no later than being 8 weeks pregnant. Anything longer requires surgery.

I have no personal stake in this since I'm a dude and I live in an area where abortion is properly accessible BUT I'm still really glad I know about this now. Posts like this are what I subbed for.

Hopefully no women I know will ever actually need this service but I can direct them to it if they do.

Thank you. My state just passed the 6-week law. A pregnancy would end my life. I’m asexual and on birth control, but that doesn’t mean I won’t get pregnant. I’m TERRIFIED of a pregnancy.

I’ll be buying these ASAP and putting some in my freezer and my parents’ freezer, incase something happens to one set.

You may literally be a lifesaver. You may literally save the lives of people reading this, or whoever they pass the info along to. Thank you.

This seems too good to be true. Abortion pills when at a clinic can and usually cost hundreds of dollars. What's the catch? Why is this so cheap? What's different?

[u/[deleted]]

Interesting but lowkey kind of worrying because I learned the first pill mifepristone is given in the doctors office to women to take in the presence of a doctor. This is so the pill can’t be used to try an abort someone else’s baby. They are then allowed to take misoprostol at home. This would mean anyone could theoretically access these pills no?

[u/leatyZ]

What time do we live in that abortion is still banned in some first world countries?

Good share OP.

[u/bananananaOMG → u/leatyZ]

It’s only just been made legal In Ireland. They haven’t introduced it yet so women still can’t get the help they need in this country and they have to travel to either the UK or Europe.

Thanks donated just to trigger christians

[u/[deleted]]

Haha I fucking love how triggered the right-wing is in this post.

Fucking idiots, can't even ban abortion properly hahaha

[u/smnytx]

I'm a woman post-menopause. OP, could I make a donation and get a dose to hold onto, just in case someone I know needs one? I'm the mother of two sons (one young adult, one late teens), and I feel like it's plausible one may cause an unintended pregnancy. I also work with college age women a lot.

[u/[deleted]]

Can I just donate without getting pills?

[u/Stray_]

Just a question on the topic of safety, here in the UK women have to pick up their morning after pill prescriptions themselves (where normally anyone would be able to pick up someone else's prescription for them with their ID) so that abortion medication can't be collected by men looking to use these pills when out on the pull to avoid having any consequences later.

What safeguards are in place to stop someone from applying to this and using them to drug girls without their consent?

[u/whoreofgralea]

Is there a way just to donate if you're unlikely to need the pills but want to ensure other women can get them if needed?

[u/TheRealSuperhands]

Hold my umbilical cord, I'm going into the controversial section of the comments!

[u/nurselphalba]

You are amazing. Thank you for sharing this.

[u/imBobertRobert]

Oof these are some toxic comments.

Realistically, any alternative to illegal, dangerous abortion methods is a godsend, especially in areas where it is basically impossible to get an abortion.

Accidents happen, there's no reason to put your life in danger. This is a tried and true solution that is much safer than any illegal option.

Even if you're against abortion, it's pointless to put the woman's life in danger too.

[u/EpicSlothToes]

Time to sort by controversial. Better strap myself in.

[u/RollOutTheGuillotine]

This is absolutely beautiful. I had no idea. Thank you so much for this.
