Start the consultation for a safe abortion

https://aidaccess.org/en/i-need-an-abortion

Aid Access supports women who are not able to access local services. If you are healthy and less than 9 weeks pregnant, you can do the online consultation. A doctor will review your consultation and refer you to a trustworthy pharmacy in India where you can obtain the abortion pills. The helpdesk and doctor will be available to answer any question before, during and after the abortion process. An abortion with pills can be done safely at home as long as you have good information and access to emergency care in the rare case of complications. We advise you to use local abortion services if at all possible.

We suggest a payment of 80 euro but will also try to help when you cannot afford this.

If you have any questions please email info@aidaccess.org or watch our informational video. Please click here to read the Terms of Use

Is this spam or are you trying to be helpful? Pills from India could be a death sentence. It is tragic that women can now become vulnerable to rip-off companies outside America which at the least steal a customer’s money and in the worst case poison the naive and desperate.
This post should be taken down.

Within the various pages of the site are a broad variety of offerings including the types of birth control and agencies that are available for consultation, including Planned Parenthood. I personally have not used the site, but found the information to be comprehensive. As it appears to be tailored for a non USA user it is very similar to USA telemedicine sites offering the same service.

Case in point comes from this article:

Abortion Via Telemedicine Is Totally Safe, Study Says
States are cracking down on telemedicine abortions, but research argues it's as safe as going to a doctor.

I am willing to quote other sources if need be.

Generally, good news. The issue isn't pills from India, but making certain you are really eligible for a prescription abortion, and knowing what to do if there are complications, although rare.

The FDA is or has been investigating, because getting the drug through the mail is illegal. At least some doctors are stepping up, trying to help, so desperate women don't butcher or poison themselves.
