Somebody I know in a country where abortion is illegal is asking if I (currently in United States) could get pills for them to terminate a pregnancy. Can they be acquired online or in person (like at planned parenthood?) and then shipped to said person? How early would they need to get the pill for it to be effective?


Yes! Right here: https://aidaccess.org/en/
They walk you through the process for getting the pills shipped to you from a pharmacy in India. They also have information in their FAQs for how to use the pills.
I used this website to get pills shipped to me in a US state where abortion is illegal (though I didn’t end up needing to use them). They might also ship to other countries too; I haven’t looked into it.
Thank you very much, this is the sort of thing I was hoping existed.
God bless Indian pharmaceutical manufacturers. I get tazarotene cream from India at 1/20th the price it is in the US.
