Abortion laws and regulations vary. While abortion is healthcare and a human right, some countries ban it entirely. In others, there are few or no limits on abortions. Check the legal status in your country.

In most countries, getting pills at home does not violate customs regulations. You’re allowed to receive prescribed medicines for personal use.
