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.

The table on the website lists all of the brands of oral contraception available in the U.S. (though some of these are used outside of the US and may be available to people outside the US) which you can use to prevent pregnancy in the few days after sex. For information about how to use a specific pill as an emergency contraceptive, click on the brand name in the table.
* Emergency Contraception Worldwide - from the above link, but you can search by brand or country if you are not in the U.S.)
Please feel free to cross-post it to whichever sub you see fit, or social media. The more people it reaches, the more women will know they have a choice to have a safe abortion instead of being forced to give birth. What you do with your body is nobody's business but yours.
