We very thankfully have more options for women that are much safer than coat hangers.
There are drugs that will allow women to have illegal abortions that are much much safer than a coat hanger. The important factor will be finding ways to get such drugs to women in states where they cannot be legally used, and ensuring that such a delivery mechanism delivers safe, and authentic drugs.
- DesiLurker 4y agoso basically corner meth dealers will now deliver abortion pills? IDK if thats gonna last, because you know we can always police the drugs out of the system.
- mywittyname 4y agoA lot of fairly common prescription drugs are abortifaciants. Prostaglandin is the substance used in drugs designed for that specific purpose, but many drugs that influence muscle control, inflamation, or bloodflow can do the same thing. It's going to be very difficult to regulate all of these drugs.
- evan_ 4y agoyeah the war on drugs in the US has been famously successful
- ncallaway 4y agoWell, I hope we can find systems that avoid it being dangerous. For example, pills can be acquired safely from outside of the jurisdiction and mailed in. Or, many such pills have on-label uses that are not abortion related. So there could be avenues to helping people who need them for abortion purposes obtain them from reputable providers for legal purposes. But, yes, the war on drugs has shown that trying to police drugs out of the system is incredibly difficult. I'd just like to make sure that, once the war ramps up, we can find ways to keep the delivery of the drugs as timely, authentic, and the use of them as safe as possible.
