Part 9/12:
The illegal trade of abortion pills flourishes within these restrictions. Undercover investigations reveal that online vendors, often based in Indonesia or other countries, offer pills like misoprostol and mifepristone without prescriptions. These medicines, if not used correctly, pose life-threatening risks.
Conversations with sellers, posing as pregnant helpers, show that safety and reliability are secondary to secrecy and accessibility. Sellers claim to provide detailed instructions—though many women lack medical knowledge—highlighting the dangerous reliance on unregulated sources. Abortions performed outside medical supervision have led to infections, incomplete procedures, and fertility damage.
