London, 17th July, 2018: A recent report conducted in the UK suggested that women need not perform the medical abortion at a clinic to end their unwanted pregnancy. Medical pregnancy termination is easier to perform at home through safe abortion pills. Earlier, women had to go the hospitals to administer the abortion tablets. This led to women enduring the symptoms of the medical abortion while returning from the hospital. This made it difficult to manage the whole process.

Additionally, the report revealed the projection that allowing women to terminate the pregnancy at home will not increase the number of medical abortion. Medical abortion performed at home enables greater privacy and emotional support from the partner/family. It further allows women to be at their comfort and perform the procedure with ease.

Mifepristone and Misoprostol are the two medicines used in the process of medical pregnancy termination. Since the second pill in the medical abortion medication causes cramping and passing of fetal tissues within a few hours, women in Scotland have the option of taking the drug at home.

The provision will soon be extended to Wales. However, in England, women have the limitation of taking the pills at the clinic or the hospital. It means women may have to go through the after-effects of abortion on their way back home.

There are many regions of the UK where abortion pills are unavailable at the local stores. Such women tend to buy abortion pills online in UK. There has not been any recent case of incomplete medical abortion. The pills bought online helps them get the abortion medication at their doorstep. Also, it has widened the reach for abortion medication making it available nearly in every region of the UK.
