A recent report by The New York Times follows the story of a woman who opted for a medicine-induced abortion in her home on her own terms.
“I was happy that I was going to be able to do it myself, and I did not have a nurse there or doctors there staring at me and judging me,” said Marie, identifying only by her middle name.
She is part of a research effort to examine how effective and safe a medicine induced abortion can be done through online consultations and drugs mailed to a patient’s home.
Though some find the concept dangerous and disturbing, other says it could be a good option for women at a time when access to abortion is limited.
