Women In Nepal Are Turning To Pharmacies For Clandestine Abortions | HuffPost: Nepal legalized abortion in 2002, but clandestine procedures are still common, according to a recent study by the Guttmacher Institute. Experts believe most clandestine abortions don’t happen in back-alley clinics, but rather through local pharmacies where women buy pills to self-induce without receiving medical guidance.
When taken correctly, self-inducing abortions using misoprostol and mifepristone can safely terminate a pregnancy. However, in Nepal, pharmacy workers often sell pills to women who are past their first trimester or without giving them instructions, which increases the risk of hemorrhage, serious infection or incomplete abortion. Under Nepal’s laws, women seeking medical abortions must visit a doctor for a prescription before buying pills at pharmacies.
