Answer
Hello, riya,

First, please know I am a woman. I am helping women here because I don't want to see women get hurt.

I guess it depends on whether you want to kill yourself or not. The MT pill kills a lot of women. It can cause a woman to bleed to death. About 20,000 women in India are dying after abortion, and most of them bleed to death.

Do you have money to pay for medical care if you start to bleed to death or you hemorrhage? Can you even GET that kind of medical care where you live? Are you prepared to never have any children? If they do medical care on you, they might take out your uterus. That means you won't be able to ever have children.

I think you are asking me for permission to hurt yourself. I won't give you permission. These pills are deadly and a pregnant woman should never take them. It is a crime against women they are even available. You really deserve better. I want you to be aware that if you do take these pills, you may very well kill yourself. So please don't take them. There are better answers.

It sounds like you are facing some difficulties and could use some real help, not some kind of bogus "fix it" pill. Let me know what kind of problems you are facing, and I will see what I can do to help. Please stay safe!

Expertise

I can help women with the consideration of their decision, and with resources, and I can share my own experiences as the mother of seven and grandmother of eleven. My approach is to show love and concern, and help women work through the issues, emotional, spiritual, practical. I also help women deal with boyfriend and family issues. I am not a doctor, but I have done extensive medical research, so I may be able to help with information. I am female. When you write, if you are or were pregnant, please tell me how far along you were or are, and if you have had an abortion, please tell me what kind. Thank you.

Experience

I have been working with women who are considering abortion for several years. I also work with women who have had abortions. Our family has also experienced adoption, so I can talk about that as well.

Education/Credentials
I am mostly self-taught. I also studied midwifery for awhile. I have spent years doing research on this topic. In fact, I have been doing research and working in this area since the early 1970's. I have been helping women online for a few years, under the guidance of a woman who was formally training in counseling.
