Introduction
I found this posted on Reddit in r/TwoXChromosomes by u/cartuspier900 and decided to share it here. I have added some content as I saw fit.
Caveat
Please keep in mind this news report from the Guttmacher Institute about the hazards of ending a pregnancy on your own. The link to the study can be found here and a related news release was published specifically on this topic.
The Original Post
If you cannot access abortion services for any reason, AidAccess.org will mail you the abortion pills for a donation amount of your choice.
If you’re in an area where abortion is banned or restricted, you aren’t out of options. Aidaccess is run by physicians and women’s rights advocates who offer abortion services internationally to women who may not otherwise have access. This includes the USA where abortion is heavily restricted in some states and often very expensive.
After a brief questionnaire, an advocate will mail a valid prescription, instructions, pills (plus some extras) and will even walk you through the steps if needed via SKYPE. The organization is based on donations, no minimum amount required.
You can support Aidaccess.org buying their merchandise or making a transfer.
Bear in mind that there are certainly people who oppose what they are doing, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the state of Texas.
