"Home alone abortion using pills is safe, government project finds"

Published in Nursing Standard report by BBC, 15 February 2006 "Women less than nine weeks pregnant can safely have the medical abortion outside hospital, the Department of Health backed project found. None of the 172 women, who took tablets supervised by a nurse in a health centre, suffered serious complications, Nursing Standard reported." More evidence again in support of Women on Web. More women should be allowed to take the medicines at home and they should become available in the regular pharmacies.

What is the effective way of performing medical abortion?

hi, i came from a country where abortion is not legal but still medical abortion is very rampant. Women do it without really knowing how it is supposed to be done. As a result, many failed and suffered the consequences.
As someone planning to do it myself, i want to do it the right way. How is it done and where can i get the pills? I would really appreciate it if you can give me your thoughts re this matter. I'm really confused and desperate...

how to do it the right way

There are two ways that you can do it. The best and safest way a woman can do an abortion herself until the 9th week of pregnancy is with the use of two medicines called Mifepriston (also known as the abortion pill, RU 486, Mifegyn, Mifeprex), and Misoprostol (also known as Cytotec, Arthrotec, Oxaprost , Cyprostol, Mibetec, Prostokos or Misotrol). A medical abortion done this way has a success rate of more than 97%. To obtain a medical abortion with Mifepristone and Misoprostol, do the online consultation starting www.womenonweb.org/article-174-en.html.

If Women on Web can not help you, a woman can also do an abortion herself until the 9th week of pregnancy with only the use of a medicine called Misoprostol (also known as Cytotec). On this webpage www.womenonwaves.org/set-1020.191-en.html you can find information on Misoprostol: what precautions to take, how the medicine works, what is the most effective doses, what women can expect, and about possible complications. Using Misoprostol (or Cytotec) alone to cause an abortion will be successful in 80%.
