[An image shows a message from Facebook letting a user know that they removed the content shown below. The content is a list of instructions on how to induce an abortion before 9 weeks of pregnancy. 

It says:

“Do you need a safe abortion? (till 9 weeks of pregnancy)

Go to the pharmacy, buy 12 tablets of Misoprostol.

(say its for your grandmother with arthritis)

(or go to www.womenonweb.org)

1 - Put 4 tablets under your tongue

2 - After 3 hours put another 4 tablets under your tongue

3 - After 3 more hours, put another 4 tablets under your tongue for a third time.

Within 4 hours you can get cramps, nausea, chills, diarrhea, bleeding. If you soak more than 2 maxi sanitary pads per hour for more than 2 hours; if you have a fever or severe pain you have to go to the doctor (you can say you had a miscarriage). After 3 weeks do a pregnancy test.

More info: www.womenonwaves.org”

via Jessica Valenti’s Facebook page (I asked for permission to post this to Tumblr and have yet to see a response, so well, I think it’s important so I’m just gonna do it anyway). 

These instructions (from Women on Waves, a fantastic organization that helps people capable of becoming pregnant in countries in which abortion is illegal) on how to induce an abortion at home before 9 weeks of pregnancy were removed from Facebook. Apparently, rape is totally cool with Facebook, but helping people makes choices about their bodies? Nope. Not ok. 

Anyway, the instructions are great, although a friend of mine added that you might want to wait 4 weeks to take a pregnancy test, otherwise you might get a false positive. Please spread this around so that people in countries in which abortion is illegal can access this information!

Oh facebook. 

I know that this is made with good intentions, but self prescribing a chemically induced abortion sounds extremely dangerous to me. In all seriousness, is this information even accurate? A pharmacist should check this. 

A chemically induced miscarriage is a hell of a lot safer than most back alley abortions, you know. And the side effects of this drug are well documented on the manufacturer’s webpage. 

I’m not going to link it because I’m certain you can use google, for goodness sake.
