Europe has been watching America’s relentless fight over abortion and has, out of indiscretion and greed, apparently stepped in to offer its services. The elusive company “Aid Access” facilitates abortion services for women following online consultations, so long as they are very early in their pregnancy, less than nine weeks. This has been going on for several months and has prompted a Food and Drug Administration investigation. Despite FDA concerns, abortion advocates in the U.S. support the company and the abortion pill mail-order concept.

According to their website, Aid Access claims it is a “private initiative by a committed team of medical doctors and long term abortion rights activists…. The aim of the website and service is to create social justice and improve the health status and human rights of women who cannot access locally available abortion services.” The company claims that if a woman completes her consultation and is indeed less than nine weeks pregnant, mifepristone (basically RU-486) and misoprostol will be delivered by mail for about $100 — although they offer help in the event that a woman can’t afford the cost. “An abortion with pills can be done safely at home as long as you have good information and access to emergency care in the rare case of complications,” the website claims. It’s unclear how the company ensures that a woman is just nine weeks pregnant, rather than say, 13 weeks or more. Women can easily misdiagnose how far along they are, just by failing to know the date of their last period.
