TL;DR: Title says it all, article mostly gives space to Meta to waffle.

    Reposting my comment from another thread:

    For anyone that needs this information, you can (currently) order abortion medicine (mifepristone and misoprostol) online in any state. I did it a few days ago and it was stupid easy to do. I’m not pregnant, but I wanted to order some as a just-in-case for myself or others.

    The Plan C website has a great list of websites you can order from if you’re not pregnant. It costs about $150 and some offer financial assistance if you need it. But please do it NOW while you still can.

    I ordered one from Aid access and one from safe choice. Both asked a few questions that didn’t ask for personal information or ID. They mostly just need an email, address to send it, and a credit/debit card to pay.

    Good luck out there everyone.

      Is there something wrong with the ones for sale on Amazon? I have stocked up for my daughter and anyone else who might be in need.

        Plan B (what I assume you ordered, but I could be wrong) does not require a prescription and is limited in use up to 120 hours after sex. mifepristone and misoprostol require a prescription (given on these websites) and are usable up to 13 weeks of gestation. I have not found these on Amazon, but perhaps they are available on Amazon in other states?

      Also, Costco sells it over the counter for very cheap. You don’t need a membership to use the pharmacy; Just tell the door person that you’re there for the pharmacy, and they’ll wave you through. They don’t take credit cards, but debit is accepted.

      It depends on where you live, but it’s likely anywhere from $20 to $50.

      Also, the cheap pregnancy tests work just as well as the super expensive ones. You can get a pack of 10 for like $15.

        I think what you’re referring to is Plan B medication which is only useful for the first 120 hours after sex and doesn’t require a prescription. mifepristone and misoprostol require a prescription which you can get through these sites and they are usable up to 13 weeks of gestation. You likely can still get it at any pharmacy in a legal state. But ordering online not only allows for easy access to prescription, but also circumvents laws preventing sale in particular states. And yes that means you could potentially be prosecuted if caught, but people should still know their options. I for one would rather live through a miscarriage and do time than to die under legal means.

    Handing control of the internet over to a few tech bros is the dumbest thing humans have ever done.
