In reply to the discussion: For those of you wondering why they didn't use Planned Parenthood for their abortion [View all]Feral Child
(2,086 posts)And I've lived in the north-east, so I know that mass-transit between cities is very available.
No I can't answer your hypotheticals about this woman's occupational limitations.
I do know that extensive research is involved in locating online pharmacies that will supply international restricted limitations without prescriptions. I know that any script-med you obtain this way is both very expensive and of questionable provenance. I know that my research turned up numerous clinics providing abortions throughout the state. A more exhaustive search might have taken as much as five minutes, about 4-5 hours less than it would take to find an internet "pharmacy"
I also know that most of those firms specialize in Xanax & Hydro, so an even more refined search would be required to find the specific "pills" she bought.
More, those meds have to clear Customs, so:
A. There's a possibility of confiscation.
B. International mail can be quite slow (Parcel companies don't accept these kind of shipments)
Either of those miscues could result in the pregnancy continuing past the "safe" period for this medicine.
In short, her actions aren't excusable or justifiable.
I'll close with a question: Would you give "pills" obtained from the internet without the required prescription to your child?
